Abstract:

The E learning institutions are providing most effective way of education with many Socio-Economic benefits. In developing countries of Asia, people have limited financial resources whereas major portion of population is living in backward rural areas. Due to limited resources, the only solution is E learning (EL). Pakistan is also facing many problems for promotion of education in backward rural areas; therefore, Higher Education Commission of Pakistan has provided funds to different universities for starting EL (e.g. UMT, Gomal University etc.). The EL study system has its own challenges. One of the biggest challenges is how to retain students and to minimize the dropouts. There are many factors that are playing a vital role in dropout of students in EL institutions. The purpose of this paper is to highlight major factors/reasons behind the student dropouts in Pakistan, their trend in upcoming years and how to minimize/control these factors. The study also includes the analysis of dropout students in a leading EL university of Pakistan

The decision to leave school prematurely can have far-reaching consequences, often leading to limited opportunities and a cycle of poverty. In this article, we will delve into the causes and consequences of school dropout, shedding light on the urgent need for interventions and support systems. One of the primary drivers of school dropout is poverty. Low-income families often struggle to meet basic needs, which can lead children to prioritize employment over education to help support their families financially. Many students drop out due to the absence of quality education. This can result from inadequate school infrastructure, poorly trained teachers, or insufficient learning resources. Students who struggle academically may lose motivation and confidence, eventually leading them to disengage from school. Without appropriate support, they may see no other option but to drop out. Family dynamics and peer pressure can play a significant role in dropout rates. Some students may come from families with a history of dropouts, while others may be influenced by friends who have left school. Undiagnosed or untreated mental health problems can lead to school dropout. Depression, anxiety, and other mental health disorders can impair a student’s ability to attend school regularly and perform well academically. Without a high school diploma or equivalent, job prospects are severely limited. School dropouts often find themselves trapped in low-wage, unstable employment, perpetuating the cycle of poverty. The income gap between individuals with a high school diploma and those without is substantial. School dropouts are more likely to struggle financially, making it difficult to break free from the cycle of poverty. Education has a significant impact on overall health. School dropouts are more likely to experience poorer physical and mental health outcomes, reducing their life expectancy and quality of life. Research consistently shows a link between school dropout rates and involvement in criminal activities. Dropout youth are more likely to engage in delinquent behavior, leading to higher crime rates in affected communities. The consequences of school dropout extend beyond the individual. Society bears the burden of higher healthcare costs, increased crime rates, and lower tax revenue due to lower income levels among school dropouts. Identifying at-risk students and providing early intervention can help prevent school dropout. Acknowledgement None. Conflict Of Interest None.

When students disengage from education prematurely, they miss out on crucial opportunities for personal growth, career development, and social mobility. In this article, we will explore the factors contributing to school dropout, its consequences, and highlight effective strategies to prevent dropout and support student success. Description School dropout is a complex issue influenced by a multitude of factors. Some common factors include socio-economic disparities, lack of family support, academic struggles, bullying, disengagement from school, and negative peer influences. Students from disadvantaged backgrounds may face additional challenges, such as limited access to resources, inadequate educational support, and societal pressures. Understanding these factors is crucial for developing targeted interventions to address the root causes of school dropout. School dropout has far-reaching consequences, impacting both individuals and society as a whole. For students, dropping out of school often leads to limited job prospects, lower earning potential and increased vulnerability to poverty. Dropout rates are also linked to higher rates of criminal activity, substance abuse, and health issues. On a societal level, school dropout can result in increased social and economic inequalities, decreased workforce productivity, and a strain on public resources. Therefore, it is essential to address this issue proactively to ensure a brighter future for individuals and communities. Preventing school dropout requires a multi-faceted approach that addresses the underlying causes and provides targeted support to at-risk students. Here are some effective strategies to prevent dropout. Early Intervention: Early identification of students at risk of dropping out is crucial. Schools should implement comprehensive assessment and monitoring systems to identify students who may be struggling academically, socially, or emotionally. Early intervention programs can provide targeted support, personalized learning plans, and access to resources to address these challenges. Individualized Support: Students who are at risk of dropping out often require individualized support. This may include academic tutoring, counselling services, mentoring programs, and alternative education pathways that cater to diverse learning needs. Providing a nurturing and supportive environment where students feel valued and understood is essential for their success. Engaging and Relevant Curriculum: A relevant and engaging curriculum is crucial for keeping students motivated and connected to their learning. Schools should strive to create a curriculum that reflects real-world contexts, incorporates practical skills, and promotes student engagement through interactive teaching methods. By making learning meaningful and applicable, schools can reduce disengagement and dropout rates. Strengthening School-Community Partnerships: Collaborating with community organizations, businesses, and families is vital in preventing school dropout. Engaging parents and families in their child’s education, establishing mentorship programs, and providing access to community resources can create a support network that encourages students to stay in school. Social and Emotional Support: Many students who drop out of school face emotional or social challenges that impact their ability to thrive academically. Schools should prioritize providing social and emotional support services, such as counseling, mentoring, and peer support programs. By addressing the emotional well-being of students, schools can create a positive and inclusive learning environment. Career Guidance and Vocational Training: Providing career guidance and exposure to various career pathways can inspire students and give them a sense of purpose. Schools should offer vocational training programs, internships, and partnerships with industry professionals to help students see the relevance of their education and make informed choices about their future. Monitoring and Tracking: Regular monitoring and tracking of student progress are essential to identify early signs of disengagement and intervene promptly. Schools should implement data-driven systems to track attendance, academic performance, and behavior patterns. This data can help identify trends, inform interventions, and measure the effectiveness of dropout prevention strategies. Conclusion School dropout is a complex issue with significant consequences for individuals and society. By understanding the underlying factors, implementing targeted interventions, and providing comprehensive support, we can empower students to stay in school and succeed. It is crucial for educational institutions, policymakers, communities, and families to work collaboratively to create a nurturing and inclusive environment that encourages every student to reach their full potential. Only by addressing the issue of school dropout can we build a brighter and more equitable future for all. Acknowledgement None.
