While data show improvement in terms of educational access, dropout rates are significant in many countries. In Spain, 28% of students drop out of school without finishing secondary school, more than double the EU average. Thus, extensive research has shown the consequences of the dropout phenomenon, including negative effects on employment, welfare dependency, as well as health and emotional problems. The transition from primary to secondary education is a critical turning point. This situation worsens in the case of refugee and migrant minors who are refugees or with migrant backgrounds. Although there is strong evidence revealing the potential of SEAs to advance educational success for all in different contexts, no research has yet explored the effect of SEAs on enabling a successful transition from primary to secondary education, which could considerably impact decreasing dropout rates. Drawing on a qualitative case study of a secondary educational centre in Spain, this study analyses the impact of the implementation of three SEAs in key aspects related to primary-secondary transitions. Findings show how the systematic implementation of SEAs impacts the ease of the primary-secondary transition: positive relationships between the educational community are promoted, school connectedness across transition is strengthened, and academic support networks are enhanced. The study therefore suggests the benefits of SEAs as strategies that can enhance positive primary-secondary school transitions in terms of students' perception of belongingness, and academic performance.
虽然数据显示在教育机会方面有所改善，但许多国家的辍学率仍然很高。在西班牙，28%的学生未能完成中学学业就辍学了，这一比例是欧盟平均水平的两倍多。因此，大量研究表明了辍学现象的后果，包括对就业、福利依赖以及健康和情感问题的负面影响。从小学到中学的过渡是一个关键的转折点。这种情况在难民和移民未成年人中更为恶化，他们是难民或移民背景。尽管有强有力的证据表明，全纳教育策略在不同背景下有可能促进所有人的教育成功，但迄今为止，还没有研究探讨全纳教育策略对促进从小学到中学顺利过渡的影响，而这可能会大大降低辍学率。本研究采用西班牙一所中学的定性案例研究，分析了在与小学-中学过渡相关的关键方面实施三项全纳教育策略的影响。研究结果表明，系统实施全纳教育策略如何影响小学-中学过渡的顺利进行：促进了教育界之间的积极关系，加强了过渡期间的学校联系，增强了学术支持网络。因此，该研究表明，全纳教育策略是增强学生归属感和学业成绩的积极的小学-中学过渡策略。
