In spit ofa set ofmeasures applied by educational agencies during many years, it remains a major problemin Portugal and in other countries, due to a variety offactors. The problem has social and politicaldimensions and consequently several solutions have been proposed. Nevertheless, solutions musttake into account the individual levei.
