Accountability and partnership" Paper presented at the annual meeting of the 53rd

Abstract:
Whose accountability are the school dropouts in basic educationthe
parents, the teachers, the school administrators, the students, the local
government units, the taxpayers, the members of civil society?
Generally, the parents and the dropouts themselves receive the blame
from the teachers and school administrators who do not recognize the
complexities of dropping out and that they themselves influence this
phenomenon.

The paper presents a slice of a national study on school dropout that

utilized qualitative research methods (focus group/individual interview
and case study) in collecting data from school division administrators,
school heads/principals, teachers of dropouts, parents of dropouts,
dropouts themselves and other students.

The study found out that poverty influenced the double-digit dropout
rates in the elementary and secondary schools involved in the study.
The report also showed that gender (male/female) and location
(urban/rural) influenced dropping out. As a complex phenomenon with
psychological, cultural and sociological dimensions, the study argues
that school dropout should be addressed by using a multi-sectoral
approach where various stakeholders serve as major partnersthe
family, school, department of education, local government units,
members of civil society, local community, NGOs and other national
agencies. Practical solutions to dropping out are suggested.
