Establishment of the Scientific Council of the Integrated Programme for the Promotion of School Success published in the Official Journal
António Sampaio da Nóvoa, Ana Maria Bettencourt, António Câmara, Ermelindo Peixoto, Maria Amelia Correia de Campos, Roberto Carneiro and Suzete Pacheco Câmara will make up the Scientific Council of the Integrated Programme for the Promotion of School Success - ProSucesso. The order establishing this council was published today in the Official Journal.
The order issued by the Regional Secretary for Culture and Education states that the Government's decision to develop and implement the ProSucesso programme in the school year 2015/2016 is related to the fact that, "despite the strong investment" in the regional education system in recent decades, the levels of school failure and dropout are still "too high."
In addition to including the measures "already implemented, with promising results," this Plan should also "define priority areas and intervention strategies" that will "not only ensure the compliance of the targets set for education and training under the Azores 2020 Operation Programme, but also the effective promotion of school success."
The working group now established includes individuals of recognised merit in the area of education. The academic and professional path of its members also covers complementary areas, from educational policies to professional experience in basic and secondary education and higher education, as well as management and leadership positions at schools and the monitoring of implemented educational measures.
The order was signed by Avelino Meneses and is valid for the period of two school years, with the possibility of renewal.
