Dropping out of school

Dropping out of school

     Education improves people’s lives and their ability to learn new things which will help them expand their knowledge. It makes them self-confident and responsible. However, a lot of children are deprived of this fundamental right since they drop out of school. This happens due to several reasons. So, what are the causes and consequences of dropping out of school?

     Dropping out of school is a dangerous Phenomenon in our society.  Here are its causes and consequences.

     The distance which separates school from home can be a cause for refraining from school. Children have to cover more than 10 kilometers four times a day to get to school and can’t afford buying a bike which can make the trip less tiring. Besides, in bad weather conditions, the roads get muddy and the temperature gets below zero, but they lack the necessary winter equipment. Furthermore, when rivers flood, they get cut off from school for several days.

      Poverty can push students to give up studying as parents don’t have enough money to buy school materials which have become costly nowadays. As a result, they draw their children from school, especially when they have a lot of children, and they have not only to buy school books, but clothes as well. The beginning of the school year costs parents a lot of money and this is what makes them prefer to keep their children at home.

      Family problems can also be a reason for children to drop out of school. For example, children see their mothers being beaten or scolded by their fathers because of alcoholism, or drug-addiction. Finally, divorce is often one of the major causes for ending up children’s education.
    Remoteness from school, poverty, and family problems are among the reasons why students drop out of school. Consequently, we should collaborate together so as to help these children benefit from their basic rights and become productive citizens.
