Norwegian-Romanian Initiative for Quality in Education - NOROC


The project aims to improve the quality of educational services, in particular in rural areas, in five departments in Romania. The project aims to combat school dropout and facilitate the transition from primary to lower secondary education and lower secondary to upper secondary education for 650 children at risk.

In the medium and long term, the intervention aims to improve the quality of educational services by providing training to 48 teachers and school mediators in methods for working with children at risk of school dropout and/or with SEN. The target groups are children at risk of school dropout as well as children with SEN from primary and lower secondary education, who are in one or several of the vulnerable situations identified by the call, in particular, from rural areas, from five departments in Romania; their parents; teachers from 20 schools; children who attend these schools; their parents. Fafo's role in the project ensures the transfer of good practice from Norway and provides project monitoring and evaluation, transferring its own methods to Romanian partners.
