The School Completion Programme (SCP) is a targeted programme which aims to increase the numbers of children and young people staying in primary and post primary school and in doing so improve the numbers of young people who successfully complete the Senior Cycle, or equivalent. The primary focus of the Programme is to work with those who may be at risk of educational disadvantage through early school leaving.
The SCP aims to impact positively on school:
● Attendance
● Participation
● Retention
The SCP is a national programme, and an action under the Department of Education & Skills DEIS – ‘Delivering Equality of Opportunity in School’ Plan (2017). The Programme provides a range of local targeted interventions in disadvantaged schools and communities designed to support the retention of children and young people in education. The SCP is funded by Tusla Education Support Service. Foróige is contracted by the Local Management Committee.
