From the 4th to the 10th of December 2016 seven Turkish teachers from seven school registered to the same directorate spent a week of job shadowing in our school as part of a Erasmus+ project focusing on acquiring pedagogical methods and strategies to prevent early school leaving and school drop outs knowing that Turkey decided to make 12 -years education compulsory in 2012-2013. Early school leaving is a common problem for many European countries and schools have to face it. There are many Turkish students who leave education because of several reasons, especially in the eastern part of the country in which the Yuksekova directorate is located, early school leaving is a prevalent problem. Our teaching staff presented teaching methods used for students facing learning problems, curricular and extracurricular activities meant to foster students' motivation to stay in school and continue their education for a real social inclusion and better chances to find a job. It is well known that early school leaving is one of the biggest issues at European level and the main cause for social exclusion among youngsters. From management to teaching and learning activities, involving parents and students' families, the discussions helped the Turkish guests to find more solutions to their specific problem.
Self-confidence of the participant teachers increased with the foreign language skills and social circles they had improved. The participants raised awareness about what must be done to include parents in the educational process. Thus, new methods have been developed to reduce early school leaving with the close relationship of school and family.
