The theme of
educational poverty is becoming increasingly central to the national and
international scientific and pedagogical debate, but also to the public and
political one. The concept is multidimensional and presents the characteristics
of scale necessary to frame the complexity of social and educational situations
related to inequalities and issues of equity, social justice and access to
rights not relegated to the economic sphere alone. The contribution aims to
initiate a critical reflection, with a reading also declined to the theme of
resilience, to identify factors and dimensions and starts a first
reconnaissance of what could be the elements to be considered in the study of
the phenomenon of educational poverty and school dropout, in their theoretical
aspects.
