Every year around 1.2 million students drop out of school in the US. According to a UNICEF report enrollment in educational institutions in Lebanon dropped from 60% in 2020-2021 to 43% in 2021-2022. The National Dropout Prevention Center (NDPC) at Clemson University has identified an extensive set of risk factors organized into four domains: Individual factors, family factors, school factors, and community factors. This research investigates the causes, consequences of high school students' dropout rates in Lebanon, and the prevention methods implemented. The study aims to identify the primary push, pull and fall out factors contributing to this concerning phenomenon. A questionnaire administered to students, interviews with principals, and focus groups with parents and NGO representatives are used to gather comprehensive data on the multifaceted aspects encompassing individual, social, economic, and educational barriers. The rising concerns surrounding high school dropout rates in Lebanon, which have been steadily increasing over the past decade, provide the impetus for this study. By exploring the underlying causes, this research seeks to contribute to a better understanding of the dropout rates among high school students in Lebanon and provide insights for targeted interventions and policies to address this critical issue.
