Enhancing Student Social Care: Evaluating the Impact of the project "Support of Social Care Interventions for Students of the University of Piraeus"

Abstract

The project "Support of Social Care Interventions for Students of the University of Piraeus" aims to enhance early completion rates and equal participation in higher education for students with disabilities and those from low-income backgrounds. This paper provides an overview of the project's objectives, survey methodology, theoretical background, survey results, and conclusions. A survey was conducted among students using a questionnaire after the June 2023 examination period to assess the effectiveness of the supportive programme. The theoretical background section discusses the guiding principles and concepts underpinning the support structures developed. The survey results highlight both successful areas and areas requiring further attention. The conclusions section consists of the findings, reflects on the effectiveness of the programme, and provides recommendations for future improvements in social care for University of Piraeus students.
