ATUDA – Scientific and Technological Leadership Reserve Project

Share this project

The "Scientific and Technological Leadership Reserve" is a prestigious excellence programme. It is a pioneering special effort to advance students' future prospects. This track exposes students to advanced issues in Science and Technology and paves their way to future leadership.

The purpose of the project is to establish an excellence track of six years, resulting in a quality Baccalaureate diploma in Science and Technology. It includes:

  • 5 Units of Mathematics;
  • 5 Units of Natural Sciences (Physics, Chemistry, Biology);
  • 5 Units of Technology (Software Engineering; Electronic Engineering; Machines Engineering; Biotechnology or Scientific/Technological) or,
  • 5 Units of an additional Natural Science discipline.

The programme is carried out both in junior and senior high schools. In the first case, students participating in the project receive two additional weekly teaching hours in Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science and Robotics following a special curriculum. Schools receive an additional budget to equip their laboratories for the experiments required by the programme.

The senior high school students receive reinforcement lessons in Mathematics and Sciences adapted to their needs. The lessons are provided in small groups and their purpose is to support students in implementing the tasks involved in the programme. The project includes an element of ‘Organisational Culture Development’ interventions in the participating schools.

Trained moderators carried out adequate interventions first for the school principal and later for the project coordinator. The purpose was to encourage excellence, well-structured definition of aims and objectives, identification of objections and resistance, etc. The moderators also intervened to support the students in coping with the emotional aspects that may arise in such a challenging programme.
