The Initial Professional Qualification Programs (IPQP) as a prevention measure of school failure, to Vocational Basic Training. A study about the success and failure of Secondary Education students at risk of educational exclusion

The objective of the study is to analyze the vision of teachers who taught PCPI regarding its usefulness in the current social and educational context and know the prospects of their students. The research was developed in 50 educational centers of the province of Granada starting with a mixed method research. Despite all the limitations inherent in any measure to reduce the high rates of school failure, we must value positively the program (now Vocational Basic Training) as a last chance offered to students who, due to several reasons, have been excluded from the mainstream educational system.
