“The dropout is above all seen as a lazy person.

It is something that is quite far from reality because there are things that do not depend only on the efforts made, only on the work”.

Professor in a microcollege, Rachid Zerrouki knows what he is talking about since he works with “dropout” students, whom he tries to reintegrate into the school system.

“The key against dropping out of school is empathy”

For him, 4 axes must be favored to help students in difficulty: "We must change our outlook on dropouts, not stigmatize their parents, fight collectively against harassment and obtain more human resources at school".

On this last point, the professor emphasizes that “more human presence means more people who are willing to listen to you and understand you.

And the key, really the main tool in the fight against dropping out, is empathy, putting yourself in the shoes of these young people.
