Understanding educational success

Educational success is a comprehensive process aimed at the full development of every student, both in and out of school. It encompasses not only academic learning, but also social, emotional, civic and psychological dimensions, preparing young people to become engaged citizens.

Influenced by a variety of factors, such as living environment, family situation and social support, educational success is essential to prevent students from dropping out of school, promote their well-being and help them successfully integrate into adult life.
