The knowledge, which they will acquire, their business guidance, the orientation to different specializations that may suit more with their profile. What are the business qualifications, the specialization, the prospects of restoration and their future business workplace? At which point can vocational schools EPAL contribute to those expectations? Our target is to find out the students’ needs, who deal with special learning difficulties-dyslexia.

I will use both primary research from colleagues, who work at schools and secondary data collection. There were many reasons, that motivated me occupy with this task. First of all, I worked as a self-employed worker for 20 years, I was Chief Executive Officer in a commercial technical company (A.B.E.T.E), in which I hired graduated technical from technical schools (electricians, mechanicals etc.). Secondly, I have 4 children, and 3 of them have dyslexia. Two of them have studied at the 2nd vocational school EPAL in Evosmos, Thessaloniki. I had great impressions from this “school trip”, inside the classes’ vocational school EPAL. Students gained so much information. From my experience, I believe that students with special learning difficulties-dyslexia can be helped from vocational schools EPAL . They can find the way, which suits them more.
