Dropping Out Of School: Risk and Protective Factors
Streszczenie
Preventing school dropout and promoting successful graduation is a national
concern in Bulgaria that poses a significant challenge to schools and educational
communities working with youth at risk of school failure. Few studies have examined predictors of dropping out of school before students reach high school and their data
have been analysed. Research shows dropping out is strongly tied to family psychopathology,
individual characteristics and childhood development disorders. Finally,
yet importantly, there are some socioeconomic and cultural factors associated with
dropping out of school. A multifactor approach is needed in order to understand the
risk factors for school dropout. Identifying the predictors of school failure is crucial
for understanding the causes and processes of dropping out, which, in turn, can help
guide the creation of effective programs for the prevention of this problem. Implications
for prevention of early high school dropout are discussed. The authors place an
emphasis on applying a trans-cultural approach to maximize the potential benefit of
dropout prevention programs.
