Individual cognitive factors, especially low-achievement patterns, increase the risk for ESL, but non-cognitive factors (e.g. personality traits, problem behaviour) also play a role. At the level of the family and social background, the most prominent risk factor is low socio-economic status. However, it is noted that ESLers comprise a heterogeneous group.

Team cooperation in addressing ESL – lessons learnt from health and social care and education
The many lessons from health, social and education settings for multi-professional teams dealing with ESL have been well researched (e.g. team training, sufficient time, funding and resources). Moreover, specifically for ESL teams, discussing how they approach ESL prevention, their understanding of ESL as well as creating an educational alliance are important. However, putting the recommendations into practice remains a challenge.

The ESL situation in France
The ESL rate in France has been below the Europe 2020 target of 10% since 2013, yet regional and subgroup differences remain. Since November 2014 France has had a comprehensive strategy to tackle ESL that provides for the establishment of multi-professional ESL-prevention groups in all secondary schools. The involvement of teachers in these groups is underway.

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.
