Abstract

School dropout remains a critical challenge for global education systems, with complex causes spanning institutional, individual, and relational domains. This paper examines the predictive factors underlying school dropout and evaluates validated tools for assessing these dimensions. Drawing on the TALENTED Project, the study discusses the roles of teachers, students, and parents and highlights how interventions targeting beliefs, attitudes, and teaching practices can foster student engagement and academic success. The project proposes a selection to use validated instruments, in order to provide an experimental approach to reducing dropout in school context.
