Welcome FlowerChild

In the Netherlands every year around 50.000 children between 12 and 16 years old drop out of school without returning. Some of them just stop school because they prefer to work, but a large group has very poor future chances and a potential risk to end up in criminal circuits. In many other countries there are similar dangers. The education for these children needs to be adapted. Outside school they are not supported and treated as a valuable individual with talents. Their only chance to have a happy future is school. Teachers for this group are not only teachers, but also mentors, psychologists and even a bit father and mother. These teachers need to be trained to become professionals who really care for this group. “Students are more likely to succeed when they feel connected to school” is also the conclusion of the experts. “Increasing the number of students connected to school is likely to impact critical accountability measures, such as: academic performance, incidents of fighting, bullying or vandalism, absenteeism [and] school completion rates.”

The teachers have the “golden key” in the battle against criminality!
