Dropping out of school is a serious problem a lot of families suffer from. It's the origin of many other crises within the society. So what are the causes of this phenomenon?
Local education authorities organized a seminar about dropping out of school. It took place on November 20th in the Town Hall conference room.The participants included educators, parents, associations and political officials. Approximately 200 people attended the seminar.
The activities included mini lectures and workshops. The participants agreed that there are many causes of the phenomenon. The first one is poverty. Another cause is that schools are far from students' houses, and also because children are needed in farm work and household chores.
The ministry should take serious measures like encouraging drop-out students to return back to school, support poor families so that they will be able to send their kids to school and sensitise parents and children to the importance of schooling.
