A cross-sectional survey design was utilized to examine the <span class="st1">most pressing </span>problems confronted  in those schools, and </span><span>possible actions that could be taken by various stakeholders were sought. </span><span>Overall data suggest that those schools  serve mostly <span class="st1">disadvantaged populations with poor households.</span> Among the main challenges revealed are lack of adequate school resources and poor facilities, problems caused due to ineffective and untimely implementation of the program, high personnel turnover and recruitment of largely inexperienced and relatively less qualified educational staff, and lower levels of parental involvement in children’s schooling. Accordingly, proposed recommendations focused on measures to eliminate capacity and resource constraints, improve hiring practices, and secure adequate supervision and support for educational staff, meet academic and socio-emotional needs of students and facilitate parental involvement in the education of children. </span></p>}, journal={Education Policy Analysis Archives}, author={Akar, Hanife and Şen, Derya}, year={2017}, month={Feb.}, pages={13} }
