Solution<br />

How will the reduce in high <strong>school</strong> <strong>dropouts</strong><br />

help the community?


Education is key to everything and can solve a<br />

lot of our problems. Although dropping out of<br />

high <strong>school</strong> works out for some people its<br />

still a big <strong>issue</strong> world wide and there is<br />

consequences. We need to prevent/reduce<br />

this <strong>issue</strong> from growing into a cycle that<br />

follows the next generation.


No money for <strong>school</strong> fees<br />

Struggle getting to <strong>school</strong><br />

Cannot perform academically at <strong>school</strong> (weak learning foundation)<br />

Have too many family commitments<br />

(Not being able to keep up with <strong>school</strong>work, especially after missing<br />

several days of classes)<br />

Suffer from illness and/or disability<br />

Working at home( Having to find a job in order to help out a single parent<br />

or younger siblings)<br />

Having to care for a family member who is sick or disabled<br />

Becoming a parent<br />

See education as being useless<br />

Not feeling supported, challenged, or motivated<br />

Gang involvement<br />

Completed education to the level they wanted


Income :Perhaps the most widely discussed consequence of not finishing high <strong>school</strong><br />

is its impact on income potential. Students who drop out of high <strong>school</strong> earn<br />

significantly less than their peers who graduated from high <strong>school</strong>.<br />

Incarceration:<br />

Not finishing high <strong>school</strong> doesn't only impact a student's future income. Dropouts are<br />

also more likely to be incarcerated in prison. According to a study by the Center for<br />

Labor Market Studies, high <strong>school</strong> <strong>dropouts</strong> are more than 63 times more likely to be<br />

incarcerated than four-year college graduates and more<br />

<br />

<br />

Only 2.6 percent of women in this age group with a bachelor's degree were also<br />

single mothers. Additionally, most of the single mothers who did not finish high<br />

<strong>school</strong> were poor and reliant on government assistance to raise their children . they<br />

depend on saasa<br />

Public Resources<br />

Because high <strong>school</strong> <strong>dropouts</strong> earn less income, are more likely to be incarcerated<br />

and become single mothers at disproportionate rates, they use more<br />

public resources. Not finishing high <strong>school</strong> doesn't just impact the student<br />

who dropped out, it impacts public financial resources, too.<br />

It’s a good idea to collaborate with students. Ask students their<br />

opinion on how to improve the environment and learning methods<br />

maybe let them take surveys.<br />

Motivating children can be improved through behavioral skills of the<br />

teachers and making lectures more interesting by adopting new<br />

techniques of teaching. To prevent future <strong>dropouts</strong>.<br />

Establishing a learning support center for the weak achievers and<br />

giving employment to these prospective drop outs might save the<br />

situation.<br />

Alternative methods are online courses like Unisa that providing a<br />

safe learning environment


Crime rate will decrease<br />

Unemployment rate will decrease<br />

Build more learning institutions than prisons<br />

Motivating students to do better and<br />

achieving their goals will inspire others to do<br />

the same.<br />
