Abstract
This research, carried out within the framework of the international project «Empathic and supportive teachers – key to quality and efficiency in education», Erasmus+ EU Programme, is devoted to the problem of early leaving school and focused on characteristics and profile of the individual that correlate with motivation for the dropout. The paper analyses the trends and determinants, which culminate in the student’s rejecting, or being rejected by, the school in Bulgaria. The results of the empirical study of students’ opinion, related to the phenomenon of ESL are broadly discussed. An emphasis is placed on mechanisms of inclusion and a various forms of support for the students at risk of ESL, which help them to be involved in the school community’s life.
