| dc.description.abstract | The investigation delves into the various factors contributing to school dropout in government primary schools in Nama Sub-county, Uganda. It utilized a cross-sectional survey that incorporates both qualitative and quantitative data collection methods. The results indicate that dropout rates are affected by a variety of factors, such as family demographics like the educational levels of parents, economic situations, and household composition. The Lower dropout rates are linked to higher parental education as well as stable family structures, while significant risk factors include among others financial difficulties, single-parent households, and larger family sizes. Pupils' perspectives on education, including their motivation and perceptions of its importance, as well as school-related issues like the quality of teaching, infrastructure, and safety, also play a role in dropout rates. To overcome these challenges, the study suggests improving parental involvement through education and engagement, supporting vulnerable families with specific financial aid, enhancing school facilities and resources, handling the negative peer pressure through mentorship and support initiatives, and encouraging consistent school attendance with incentives. Successful solutions necessitate cooperation between parents, schools, communities, and government to establish a nurturing educational atmosphere that promotes student retention and achievement. | |
