SOS study: free help for students in need

The phenomenon of early school leaving, also accomplices the difficulties caused recently by distance learning, continues to grow. There are many families who are unable to give adequate support to children, whether it is due to problems in reconciling life and work or to an objective situation of socio-economic hardship. For this reason the Acli of Cagliari have decided to organize, within the initiatives of the Family Point, a free school support service for children of secondary schools of first and second degree (only the first two years).

"The idea of the project comes from a double need – explains the president of Acli Cagliari Giacomo Carta –. On the one hand,, support families who with difficulty are able to reconcile life and work times and help their children in their studies or who, living in precarious conditions, they can not let their children access to extra-school support paths for a fee. On the other hand,, we want to contribute to combating the phenomenon of early school leaving, where the lack of a method of study, but also of it tools, learning difficulties and lack of motivation, if not readily recognized as alarm bells, can lead young people to decide to drop out of school. We also hope that this initiative will also be effective in limiting the problems related to Dad that have come to light in the pandemic period".

SOS Studio, this is the name of the initiative launched thanks to the collaboration of the boys of the National Civil Service, provides for the possibility of receiving a support completely free in homework and study on one or more subjects. It will be possible to be followed both in presence, that remotely via online video-dating.

The school support service will be preceded by a meeting between the student, parents and operators of Acli, in the context of which the training needs will be detected, defined the delivery method and timing. The project Sos studio, after a short break during the summer closure of the Acli headquarters, will resume in September and will be active throughout the school year.

To access the initiative it is necessary to be enrolled in the ACLI.
