One model that seems to fit well with the findings of this paper is developed by Maclver and Maclver (2009). They suggest a strategy for dropout prevention that can be applied at all levels of the education system and which serves as a good example of a strategy that can be implemented even in a time of financial crisis. The report presents a strategy that combines targeting easily measurable ABCs of Disengagement (high absenteeism, behavioural problems and course failure) with comprehensive school reform and targeted interventions.
