Session Type: Symposium
The papers in this symposium address research, policy development and implementation in a range of countries that aim to provide equitable education by accommodating students’ needs, and retain students in secondary education. Previous studies show that dropout is understood and constituted differently depending on research disciplines, methodologies, and contexts. The presentations stem from various empirical projects, and the session aims to provide an overview of previous international research and present new empirical contributions that examine current national policy initiatives, as well as policy implementation in terms of strategies of policy makers and administrators' on province/district levels.
