  • ESL situation in Switzerland

    Switzerland does not provide an official definition of ESLers, although the rate reported by Eurostat is low. The issue of ESL is typically embedded in the context of national programmes and initiatives tackling poverty, risk groups, employability etc. This approach importantly contributes to success in preventing and tackling ESL. Multi-agency partnerships at the local/institutional level are well established.

  • Contextualizing ESL factors with PISA results

    Longitudinal studies of students which follow them from their initial participation in the PISA study at age 15 clearly show that the strongest predictor of students’ early school leaving (ESL) is their achievement in the PISA test. This achievement is a significant predictor of ESL, even after controlling for students’ socio-economic status. These data show that strong competencies can help overcome the effects of disadvantages.
