Early school leaving : a worry in Algerian secondary schools : case of Ahmed Zabana and Ksar Chellala, Tiaret and 11 Decembre secondary schools Tissemsilt

Abstract EN

The phenomenon of early school leaving is a significant societal issue prevailing in the Algerian educational system recently.

this study attempts to investigate reasons behind students’ abandonment of secondary schools.

to do so, a sample of 50 early school leavers has been used.

namely ; 25 females and 25 males, finished a battery of survey that was planned to empirically differentiate altered factors that push students to leave schools early.

a semi-structured interview was also conducted with 15 teachers to gather data about students’ decisions to quit studying earlier and play a role in student attrition that had not been previously considered.

results show that classroom disengagement has a direct relationship with leaving school.

recommendations are set at least to reduce the increasing rate of secondary school students’ early leaving.
