Re-vuelta Educativa: Apoyo a Centros Educativos de Enseñanza Media Básica para la Mejora de la Asistencia Escolar, la Reducción de la Desvinculación y el Fortalecimiento de los Procesos de Lectura y Escritura en Estudiantes

Objectives: The "Re-Vuelta Educativa" 2025 program, initiated by UNICEF and the National Administration of Public Education (ANEP) in Uruguay, aims to enhance school attendance, reduce student dropouts, and strengthen reading and writing skills among secondary school students. This socioeducational proposal includes a network format approach to address educational risk situations in designated schools with high or very high social vulnerability. The initiative is implemented through socioeducational support, literacy skill enhancement for adolescents, and training for teachers and educators within Civil Society Organizations (CSOs). The program targets a prioritized group of students identified by each center, focusing on reestablishing links between students and educational centers through close collaboration with families. It covers areas like Montevideo Oeste, Montevideo Centro, Canelones Oeste, and Rivera, working with approximately 60 students per team from August to December 2025. Expected outcomes include improved educational engagement and competency development, fostering a sustainable impact through local capacity building.
