Description:
School dropout leads to failure in social integration, and as a result greatly diminishes aperson’s chances to achieve personal success in legally accepted fields of activity. The preventionand reduction of this phenomenon are extremely difficult to achieve due to the high complexity ofits causes. Research that has been carried out into this problem leads to the conclusion that therehas been an increase in the number of students facing school adjustment problems and it alsoattempts to answer the question whether there has been a real increase in the number of dropouts orif the situation should be put down to a series of very different and complex factors.A just identification and analysis of these factors would help reveal the action to be taken andeventually lead to a decrease and prevention of school dropout.Apart from the ineffectiveness of social policies in our country, a successful result of such anintervention would be the result of the joint efforts of a multi-curricular approach, involvement ofsocial institutions and team work.
