Keywords: qualitative study; marginalized groups; dropout
Summary/Abstract: The results of this research project have led to a great number of statements in relevant terms of acceptance and commitment. In this specific case, the individuals involved in the survey were mostly Roma people from ten villages of Central and Southeastern Romania (Zizin, Târlungeni, Râşnov in Braşov County; Porumbacu de Jos, Avrig in Sibiu, Hăghig in Covasna County; Adjud, Bilieşti, Sihlea, and Tâmboieşti in Vrancea County). I assume that well-established approaches to gather information about absenteeism and dropout have substantial predictive validity. Beside this aspect, the project was supported by UNICEF Romania and the University of Bucharest.
