School dropouts



Dropping out of school is a worrying phenomenon affecting more and more young people. It is characterized by students dropping out of school prematurely before obtaining a diploma, thus jeopardizing their professional and personal future. This scourge has considerable repercussions for society as a whole, but it is not insurmountable. In this article, we explore the main causes of dropping out of school, its consequences for individuals and society, and the solutions being put in place to combat this major problem.


Causes of dropping out of school

Dropping out of school is often the result of a combination of complex factors.


Among the most common causes are :


  1. Difficultés d'apprentissage : Certains élèves peuvent éprouver des difficultés à suivre le rythme des cours, ce qui les amène à perdre progressivement leur motivation.

  2. Problèmes familiaux : Les conflits familiaux, le manque de soutien à la maison ou des conditions de vie difficiles peuvent également conduire à un désengagement scolaire.

  3. Harcèlement et intimidation : Le harcèlement à l'école est un problème sérieux qui peut pousser certains élèves à se désengager pour échapper à des situations pénibles.

  4. Désintérêt pour les matières enseignées : Certains jeunes peuvent ne pas trouver de sens dans ce qu'ils apprennent à l'école, ce qui entraîne un manque d'engagement.

  5. Pression sociale : Dans certains cas, des pressions extérieures, telles que le besoin de travailler pour contribuer au revenu familial, peuvent contraindre des jeunes à abandonner leurs études.


The consequences of dropping out of school

Dropping out of school has profound and lasting consequences, both for individuals and for society as a whole.


The main consequences include


1. Impact on employment: Young people who leave school early tend to have limited employment opportunities, which can lead them into precarious employment.

2. Loss of income: Lack of qualifications often leads to lower wages and difficulties in supporting oneself.

3. Increased risk of social exclusion: Dropping out of school can lead to social marginalization and lower self-esteem.

4. Burden on society: Dropping out of school can put a strain on social welfare systems and result in high social costs.


Solutions to combat school dropout

Fortunately, innovative solutions have been put in place to combat school dropout and help young people get back on the path to education and success.


These include 1. Early identification of students at risk: Schools can set up early detection systems to identify students in difficulty and provide them with appropriate support.

2. Support and tutoring programs: Tutoring programs can be set up to help students in difficulty overcome their obstacles and progress in their studies.

3. Emphasis on practical learning: Curricula that include internships, apprenticeships or hands-on projects enable students to see the relevance of their studies in the real world.

4. Integration of new technologies: Educational technologies can offer more interactive and engaging learning methods for students.

5. Raising awareness of the importance of education: It's essential to make families, teachers and society aware of the importance of education and the efforts needed to reduce school drop-out.


In conclusion, dropping out of school is a major challenge for our society, but one that can be met with determination and innovation. By investing in preventive solutions, offering appropriate support to students in difficulty and valuing education in all its forms, we can hope to build a better future for our young people. This will require close cooperation between schools, families, political decision-makers and the community as a whole. Together, we can give young people the means to realize their potential and make a positive contribution to society.
