This project outlines innovative strategies implemented at Palladio School to address student retention challenges during the 2007/2008 academic year. Through a range of initiatives, including mentorship programs, teacher training courses, and workshops designed to support students from diverse backgrounds, the school aimed to reduce dropout rates significantly. The program highlighted the importance of understanding students' needs and behaviors while tracking their academic performance. Insights from interviews with students and parents are included, along with a call for long-term educational interventions.

Some worrying figures regarding ISIS ‘A. Palladio’ • At the end of school year 2007/2008: • 23,68% of students in their first year failed • 38,60% of students had one or more ‘debiti/debts’ • (in september they have to make extra tests to recover the failure) • 21,95% of students in their second year failed • 40,65% of students had one or more ‘debiti/debts’ • 16,67% of students in their third year failed • 45,10% of students had one or more ‘debiti/debts’ • 10,13% of students in their forth year failed • 53,16% of students had one or more ‘debiti/debts’ • 10,00% of students in their final year failed • …but it would be out of place to imagine that all the students grouped in a classroom may benefit from psycho-pedagogical experimental work in one school year. • In perspective we may have a vision that the results could start to appear on a long term of educational intervention. • By Roberta Salerno
