IES Santa María del Águila is working on improving communication skills, reducing school dropout rates, making lifelong learning and mobility a reality, improving the quality and effectiveness of education and training, promoting equality, social cohesion and active citizenship, increasing creativity and innovation at all levels of education and training. It has also embarked on a path of internationalization of the center in the medium and long term, through which it wants to respond to the demands of our students. In our center a high degree of violent behavior is detected, which has repercussions on the low academic performance and a significant school dropout rate. Therefore, it is intended that coexistence, education in equality and the improvement of academic performance are the main axes of our project. Italy, and specifically Sicily, has one of the highest school dropout rates in Italy, and has similar characteristics to our environment. In addition, the teachers of the center need to be trained in inclusive methodologies to fight against early school leaving.
