Millions of children around the world are being denied the gift of education right now. Not because they lack motivation or potential, but because poverty, distance, and cultural barriers stand in their way. This is the harsh reality for countless kids, leaving them trapped in a vicious cycle of illiteracy and limited opportunities.
Reasons why Students drop out of School!
Family and socio-economic problems
Children who belong to low-income groups with less-educated parents are more likely to drop out of school. Children stay back at home and do odd jobs to support their parents, which affects their education.
Bad influence
Bad influence is another cause of school dropout. These include drugs, alcohol, television, and internet, as they can distract children from pursuing their education.
Disengagement
Most students don’t show any interest in studies when they enter the 9th and 10th grades, and they prefer to skip classes or go late to school. Some students find it difficult to connect with a teacher which makes them lose motivation and thus drop out of school.
Retention
Retention in school also leads to school dropout among children. It has a negative impact on the self-esteem of children, and they feel bad in front of their classmates and thus tend to drop out.
No proper guidance in studies
When parents don’t show any involvement or guidance in their child’s education, naturally they lack inspiration or motivation to study more. This leads to securing poor marks in the subjects which cause them to drop out of school. Dropping out of school should not be an option by any Teenager. Let’s encourage young people to stay in school and unleash their God given potential.
