Abstract:
The Early School Leaving phenomenon (ESL) can have significant negative effects on those persons who have not completed the compulsory education of their country. In order to deal directly with this phenomenon, the EU members states (including Greece) follow goals in order to reduce its rates. In the present article a primary research was conducted using questionnaires in order to gather and present the opinions from a sample of 70 teachers, including among them four school directors and one school consultant. The study took into consideration also the current Greek economic crisis. The main solution that sample participants propose is that of the "Mathiteia" courses which allow students to extend their education for one more year, while at the same time being employed.
