EDUCATE TO GRADUATE
Since late 2019s Covid19 has increased the number of school dropouts due to school program stoppage, as well as many children being left unsupervised because of parents working from home, poor health or because of them being orphaned. A major problem facing girl school dropout is “teenage/unwanted pregnancies”
The
decision to drop out is not so much because of children choosing to do so
voluntarily but rather as a result of life pressures. Children are forced
especially child headed homes to help support their family financially or the
demands of caring for siblings or their own children. The not so
academically inclined sees no connection between “academic life” and "real
life”. They feel disconnected from their peers and from teachers and other
adults in the community. Schools also have very few resources to meet the
complex social, emotional and academic needs of their most vulnerable youth
simply because the work load and learner have increased dramatically over the
past decade. Boredom and disengagement
are two key reasons students drop out of school.
