The lack of educational support from school contribute to students failure and stands against student's productivity.
In addition, while students are suffering from the unqualified educational staff at school, most of their parents are uneducated and didn't have the sufficient awareness to follow their children educational progress.
These unsupported environments lead student to drop out and stop enrolling in school. (Sara B, 2008)
• Social family and economic issues:

In addition student that leaves school often faces problem with his family and his surroundings .He is considered as minority for his colleagues .For this reason, he becomes isolated, anxious and deviates his behaviors as well.(Wabama,2011)
Child labor:
There is high percentage of child labor among dropouts .Children are working instead of being engaged in learning process. Children are considered source of income .Thus after leaving school and sometimes under pressure, children participate in working for many hours for a salary that does not exceed 100 $.We see in Fig.2 how a child is working instead of being in school .
Suzanne Jabbour, president of FISTA organization states "Fares has thirteen years old, he works in a shop and earns only 100$ per month. He arrives early and leaves at night .His task are clean the shop, help the customers and bring coffee."
Fares said that he is lucky to have 100$ as income per month. He declares that their friends earn only 80 Lebanese

A child with a factory job might work 12 to 18 hours a day, six days a week, to earn a
Since the parents believe their children are passing, they don’t take an interest in their child’s studies. They allow the child to spend little time on homework and more time on other activities, such as watching television. When a child comes home with an F, then the parents will take notice. Only then will parents take an active role in their child’s education, instead of letting the schools do it all. The schools are failing the students by giving them passing grades they don’t deserve.
So, knowing all the negative results that come from getting an education in the terrible conditions of these schools, many families who have a low socio- economic status try to avoid it all together. However, these families’ resources are scarce and their options are quite few. They could try paying for a private school, which can be very costly, or take their chances in
Initial academic skills are tied back with the home environment, where low literacy environments and chronic stress negatively affect a student’s academic skills. The school systems in low socioeconomic communities are often under resourced, negatively affecting students’ academic progress inadequate education and increased dropout rates affect children’s academic achievement, disseminating the low socioeconomic status of the community. Improving school systems and early intervention programs may help to reduce these
children sometimes work up to 19 hours a day. Only giving them a one hour total break.” (Child Labor in Factories, 1). Many children who worked in the factories would not be able to read or write because they were deprived from their childhood and education. These working conditions did not end until the reformers started to protests and child labor laws were put into motion.
From her investigation, she discovers that “low-income children growing up in states that have greater income inequality are dropping out of high school at higher rates than are children living in states with less income inequality” (Kennedy). Given that the wealth gap is constantly growing, many people in the lower and middle class will struggle to climb the ladder to wealth. Many students that struggle economically would drop out of school if they “perceive a lower benefit to remaining in school–even if they aren’t struggling academically” (Kennedy). This is horrible for those who study well in school, yet they have to drop out since their family is in need of financial assistance. Students are not at fault of this since they cannot choose where they grow up.
In addition to that, there is a problem with the lack of necessary resource in a school. Whether this is seen in only a few schools or a lot, it is unacceptable and must be fixed. How can we expect these students to learn, work, and live on an equal playing field when they don’t even have books, while others have every resource you could ever want in a school? We have this idea of education being the panacea of world struggle, but is it really? When we have all these schools that are not fairly treated.
Instead of taking what seems to be the easy way out, poor students are taking advantage school so they can use it for their benefit in the long run. Although there is barriers that can prevent a student from succeeding, they manage to persevere and stop at nothing to reach their
This leads to students experiencing more time with delinquent peers and can lead to the onset of delinquency. This also leads to high drop out rates. When students fall behind in their work they start to see it as unimportant which leads to dropping out of school. When a student drops out the rate of delinquency is ten times higher than a juvenile who is still in school.
“One scabby sheep is enough to spoil the whole flock,” and draws a bad picture of handwork. In these cases, parents have the right to put them under pressure in order to bring them back to education track. Hence, social forces are the only bridge separating themselves from their
Simply because we do not speak English very well does not mean that we cannot support our children to succeed in school. We value education, and there is much that we do at home every day. And staying involved in the school to watch over them is an extension of our parental responsibility" (Randy, 2009). This effort shows us some of the parents who care about their children and their children 's education; even if those parents did not speak fluent English, they must provide assistance even a little, whether for their children or teachers. Parental interest in their children makes teachers in enthusiasm and motivation to provide assistance to these
Earning money is an unavoidable necessity for them”(Faulmuller). This is showing that these children that are sent to work, are working to benefit their families and themselves in hopes of pulling each other out of the poverty hole. “For example, when the U.S. Congress threatened to ban the import of clothing made by children under 14 in Bangladesh, around 50.000 of them went from their jobs in the relatively clean textile factories to collecting garbage, breaking bricks, or even prostitution. Moreover, economic modelling research implies that in certain situations (where demand is
It is different than just looking at the micro level because the reasons for the dropout rate do not just apply to one person or family, but a larger audience. One reason for the high college dropout rate could be high schools are not preparing students properly. At the high school level, students are not treated the same as they are in college. The course work can be easier, teachers do not give their students as much freedom, and there are much longer hours in class. All of these aspects sound good for the high school level, however, they can be the polar opposites of how students are treated in college.
Several studies have been done to identify problems that affects student’s academic performance. The students’ academic performance depends on a number of socio-economic factors like students’ presence of trained teacher in school, teacher-student ratio, attendance in the class, sex of the student, family income, mother’s and father’s education, , and distance of schools (Amitava Raychaudhuri,
