Background and Context:

The socio-economic cultural context is quite complex. The specifics are rather determined by the fact, that 25 per cent of Rukla Township Housing Fund is social housing belonging to the municipality. There are 247 disadvantaged and 49 risk group families. Approximately 120 schoolchildren live in one- parent families, about 52 per cent of schoolchildren get free meals at school, and 13 per cent of foreigners or immigrants. The following issues can be distinguished by observing economical social factors influencing activities of schools: Unemployment rate in Rukla parish is one of the highest in the district; About one third of the families living in Rukla are disadvantaged; The role of family in shaping children’s moral values and social skills is insignificant; Some families are incomplete or children live with their grandparents while their parents work abroad; The organisation of educational process for refugees‘ children and their constant turnover. Day Centre project „Full- Fledged Childhood in Rukla“ has been carried out at school since 2016.
