Timor-Leste: Unique early warning system alerts parents & community of at-risk students

Timor-Leste has placed an emphasis on education, though reaching its goals is a challenge when too many children dropout. Reducing absenteeism is a first step in the process. The USAID School Dropout Prevention Pilot developed an Early Warning System that alerts teachers, administrators and parents that a child is at-risk of not completing his/her studies.
