Abstract

Dropout rates at New Land International School continue to be a significant global concern, affecting individuals and society. Students who drop out face limited career opportunities, reduced earning potential, and increased vulnerability to socioeconomic challenges. A range of personal, academic, and external factors contribute to this issue, including financial instability, lack of parental support, academic difficulties, mental health problems, and peer pressure.

The dropout crisis disproportionately affects underprivileged groups, perpetuating cycles of poverty and inequality. Efforts to address this problem have included early identification of at-risk students, mentorship programs, increased access to counseling services, and greater student engagement through extracurricular activities. Additionally, policies promoting equitable education and technology-based interventions have emerged as promising solutions.

These abstract underscores the urgent need for collaborative efforts among educators, policymakers, and communities to reduce high school dropout rates and foster inclusive, supportive learning environments that enhance outcomes for all learners.
