Flexible basic education - impact analysis Flexible Basic Education (JOPO®) is a project launched by the Ministry of Education in 2006. Its purpose is to develop new teaching methods and procedures which help reduce dropout. It develops new methods catering for individual needs which use activity based learning, small group teaching, on-the-job learning and different learning environments. JOPO activities support pupils in fi nishing school and applying for further training by means of multiprofessional cooperation, early intervention and intensifi ed school-home cooperation. The report describes the implementation of the JOPO project in schools in the school year 2007–2008 and assesses the impact of the project. The JOPO activities are organised into small groups led by a teacher and another professional. The most common reasons for enrolment in a JOPO group are problems with motivation, a need to study in a small group and low school achievement. JOPO activities are effective.
