The project had two main objectives: 1.to identify the students who didn’t want to go to high school and to help them to choose the best alternative for them (apprenticeship or professional training) 2. to plan and implement and evaluate a parallel program for those students. The Parallel Track was an innovative program which was student-centred and used interactive methods like : problem based learning (PBL), role playing sessions, site visits and short work experiences. The Project followed several steps: teacher training activities, creation of a planning group, creation of educational materials, creation of students working groups, implementation of the educational activities. The Parallel track program lasted 4 months (20 sessions with students) and it was repeated for 7 years.
