Could you help me?

Hello!

I would like to know if you could help me with this sentence. I am not sure whether the red part is OK.

"Always trying to ensure equal opportunities for students while preventing, as far as possible, school failure and subsequent risk of dropping out of the educational system."

Thank you in advance,

Have a lovely day!

:)

Hi!

As far as I can see there is nothing wrong with the red part of the sentence. There are no grammatical mistakes and it sounds right to my ear.

Have a nice day!

I would put " the subsequent risk ..."

For me it doesn�t look like a sentence, only like a part of it, as there is neither a subject nor a predicate in it.

But I fully agree with georginasantanna about the red part of it.

Thank you so much for all your answers. I really appreciate them

You need to write "the subsequent risk" in the red part.

I also agree that you need a verb to make this into a full sentence, unless it is a bullet point in a checklist of objectives or something similar.

To make it a complete sentence, change the second word to a finite verb: "always try"
