SOCIO ECONOMIC HARDSHIP AND SCHOOL CLIMATE PERCEIVED BY CHILDREB AGED 11 15
2019
The access to education for vulnerable children does not mean just including them in educational settings, but also the manner in which it helps them to succeed, regardless of their socio economic problems. The current paper aims at exploring the relations hip between school climate and educational outcomes for children coming from families with low socio economic background. 13 children (5 girls and 8 boys) aged 11 15 participated in a focus group. At the end of 2016 2017 school year, the educational status was problematic for 8 children: 1 grade retention and 7 failed classes (Math and/or Romanian language) and therefore needed to be reexamined in the fall. The material precarity, lack of adequate living conditions, of food or school supplies, were the main elements contributing to the school failure for these children. For children coming vulnerable families in most cases parents do not have the necessary resources to motivate children to succeed in school. Therefore, it is important to construct a suppor tive school environment where the positive climate helps children to fully participate at educational process and achieve their potential.
