Summary
Second Chance Schools (SCSs) are an innovative institution established in many member states in Europe, as well as in Greece, as a way of combating social exclusion. Even a few students-trainees mention the SCS duration of study (Landritsi, 2007: 85), the timetable (Lazou, 2008: 56), the lack of evaluation (Landritsi, 2007: 91-92) the complementary (advisory) services these schools offer (Alexopoulou, 2006: 96), and workshops and action plans (Ananiadis, 2007: 38) as positive aspects and features of SCSs. In addition, only positive opinions are expressed about the pedagogical climate, the contribution of teachers and the way of teaching, (Landritsi, 2007: 86).
