Solution

Young people in the Télémaque program are selected as early as 5e based on their academic aptitude and their vulnerable socioeconomic status. While any young person may encounter academic difficulties, it is often more challenging for a young person from a low-income background to overcome these challenges due to family and economic factors. Thus, a student with at least one parent who is a manager, self-employed, or holds a degree is less likely to leave school without a diploma if they exhibit the same characteristics.

Through individualized support, Télémaque identifies weaknesses in core subjects and helps prevent situations where students are at risk of dropping out by providing academic tutoring.
Each year, 15 to 20% of Télémaque high school students from low-income backgrounds who are at risk of dropping out receive academic support to stay on track for success.
