Title
Individual, family, school and community : multidimensional supports for school success in contexts of poverty
Author
Abstract
The paper focuses on analysing the school success of secondary school students living in contexts of poverty through a multiple case study in five Spanish cities. The information has been obtained using semi-structured interviews with the students, their family members, teachers or tutors and community agents. In total, we have triangulated the information from 102 interviews with the aim of ascertaining the factors that influence students' school success, such as their individual strengths, their trusting relationships at school and in their family, or the community support they received. The results show that 57% of the students had support in all or at least three of the dimensions studied (individual, family, school and community). This multidimensional support enables young people to develop resilience, even though factors hindering school success were found in 70% of the cases. The findings open up new approaches to promoting equity and inclusion policies beyond the school.
