CAUSES OF
DROPOUT AMONG SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS
ABSTRACT
This study
is based on student’s dropout among secondary school students and the way
forward in Edo State. The focus of the study is to investigate the causes of
student dropout. The research tools implored to collect data for this project
work were questionnaire for the principals, staff and students of the schools
concerned. Recommendations were made on how to solve some of these identified
problems.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Background
to the Study
Drop out as
defined by Heritage illustrated dictionary (1970) is to withdraw from
participation in a game, club, school organized society. A person who quits
school before completing a course of institution or one who has withdrawn from
a given social group before the achievement of the set out goal for admission
is said to have dropped out.
According to
the oxford elementary dictionary for Nigeria, drop out is defined as ‘someone
who does not want to work and who leaves his or her school colleges, job and
soon without completing it.
Most
students in schools fail for a great many reasons. This failure is as a result
of one thing or the other. Close to forty five percent (45%) of those who began
secondary schools, drop out before they finish for one reason or the other,
there are many of such students than we think, that if our standard is raised
much higher as some would have us do, we will find very soon just how many
would be drop out except for a handful who may or may not be good. These set of
students refused to develop more than a tiny part of the tremendous capacity
for discipline, learning, understanding and the art of creating of which they
made full use of during their early studentship.
This problem
of drop out is gaining much ground in Nigeria today especially. In Edo state.
The drop out now go about to be a menace in the society of which they belong.
Among them are the pocket pickers, smoker of different weeds, rapist,
prostitutes and robbers. They even get themselves drugged so that they would be
motivated enough to carry out their evil and immoral plans on innocent
citizens. This problem has eaten deep into our society that the aim of training
or sending children to school nowadays by parents are unfulfilled and
discouragement.
The problem
caused by these drop outs motivates the researcher to find out the causes of
these drop outs which has become a part and parcel of some schools Edo state.
The suggestions and recommendation arising from the study will help solve this
problem in future, so that parents themselves will achieve the aim of education.
Statement of
the Problems
The major
problem of this research is the cause of student drop out in secondary school
in Edo state. The problem poses the following questions
Does drop
out occur in these school?
Is the home
usually responsible for drop out?
Does bad
company or peer group influence drop out?
Does bad
school planning organization and administration encourage drop out?
Does bad
teaching method encouraged drop out?
Purpose of
the Study
Dropping out
of school has become a societal problems in some local government areas in Edo
state. It has been setting into a stumbling block on the economy and the
political recognition of this areas. Some local government has been under
developed for the fact that 65% percent of the people in each local government
in Edo State are rural dweller and the opportunity they have educationally is
very limited and the urban dweller are faced with the society problem of
smuggling and farming since they know that this two jobs will fetch them an
immediate gain. On the other hand the 35 percent that live in the urban areas
in Edo state and have educational opportunity still have drop out living view
to complete their education and fight for the right of the people in essence
the few are not enough to fight for the course of the race.
The society
or the whole Edo state is faced with a lot of problem ranging from
underdeveloped to youth untimely death from smuggling or armed robbery to
politics associated problems, unwanted pregnancy form female aspect and early
marriage which some time ht the rock, this is very peculiar in every cases
where it occurs.
Objectives
of the Study
The
objective of this research centers on digging into the root causes of drop outs
in secondary schools in Edo state. Its effects on the society and possible
solution, given to prevent future occurrences for the use of teachers, parent,
guardian and a host of others who may have their interest at heart. Since it’s
doubtful whether the few professions counselor present can handle the problems
of drop outs at this crucial time. This project would want to investigate among
other things.

Significance
of the Study
Dropping out
of school has became a societal problem in Nigeria because of its alarming rate
which is also setting a stumbling block against the economic, society,
education and political development of this country.
There has
been various reports on the drop out, among secondary school who dropped out
yearly. As a matter of fact, those parents, teachers, counselors, law
enforcement criminologist and all other agents who have experienced prolonged
contact with what is happening in our society would not deny the fact that drop
out in our schools has became rampant.
We hope that
this research work will help to ascertain the nature of prevalence of drop out
and have a positive reduction of drop out among secondary school in Edo state.
Furthermore,
the study will also proffer a variety of workable solutions or specific
techniques to adopt in dealing with the drop out at the concluding part of the
study.
This project
would serve and be useful to researchers who might want to carry out further
research on other drop out problems.
Scope of the
Study
This study
observe among other thing the number of secondary schools in various local
government areas in Edo state. If the numbers of school is enough to take care
the primary school levers.
To sample
out some school within each or some local government in Edo state, that is can
represent the total school in Edo state. The samples were evenly distributed to
cover the whole local government in Edo state or have clear picture of the
representation so as t0o make the work realistic and valid, probably the reasonable
solution might be found.
