Education 3-13, v53 n2 p266-278 2025
The study's overarching goal was to look into the factors that contribute to school dropout among primary school students in Fagita Lekoma District. To this end, this study used a convergent parallel research design. The participants of the study comprised District Education Officers, school principals, teachers, PTA members, and dropout pupils. The data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics and the content analysis method for qualitative data. One of the findings of this study indicated that there was a high dropout rate in the study area. The findings from different respondents with different instruments showed that many factors contribute to students dropping out, which could fall under the dimensions of family-based factors, school-based factors, sociocultural factors, and economic conditions. Thus, the school management, in collaboration with stakeholders in the school, is expected to minimise the dropout rate by addressing the causes identified by the study.
