EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF THE ACTION
In this project designed within the grant programme "The Increase of Schooling Rate of, Especially, Girls II" and titled "Public Service Practices II'', in which the authority of the contract is the Ministry of Labour and Social Security Human Resources Development Operating
Structure, it was aimed to identify the girls, especially those who are in the last grade of middle schools in Palandoken, Yakutiye, and Aziziye districts of Erzurum, who dropped out/had to drop out the school or do not go to school regularly and to increase the schooling rates among them.
To serve this aim, the Project was staged in the work packages as follows: Information Collection .. _public Service Announcement
(PSA), Evaluation, Application, Extension, and Visibility. To fulfil this aim, nearly 150 families were visited.
Some questionnaires were applied to the parents and their daughters. During the visits, they were invited to attend the 20 seminars that would be held within the project. Nearly 2700 people attended the semmars. The results obtained from the questionnaires given to parents and their daughters showed that the seminars were successful. In other words, the seminars helped them
change their minds. The religious and cultural misbeliefs of them identified before the project changed by 60%.
Some outcomes suggesting and supporting the public service announcement and a booklet of project results were also reached in the project.
