Early school leaving (dropout) is a problem in all education systems. In 2010 the European Commission launched the Europe 2020 strategy which included a list of measures to reduce school dropout rates in the EU countries. The aim of this paper is to analyze the issue of dropout in upper secondary education (ISCED 3) in the education systems of 4 post-socialist Central European states (Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia). Firstly, the paper describes and compares the education systems of these countries and the important changes of their education policies made after entering the EU. The analysis of Eurostat data shows that despite the decline of the average early school leaving rate in the EU countries from 13.8% to 10.2% between 2010 and 2019, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia are among the four member states whose dropout rates are rising. Through an overview of research studies, this paper then identifies the dominant topics and “weak spots” related to early school leaving in these countries.

“…Other reasons included lack of motivation to study, low academic performance, parents' disinterest in their children's learning, and unhappy families (e.g., parents' divorce status). The other reasons derive from families including unhappy families, difficult economic status, or the living condition of students (Randolph et al, 2006;Rumberger & Lim, 2008;Goulet et al, 2020;Ogresta et al, 2020).…”

“…Others, as Le and Tran (2013) and Pham and Thach (2016), also showed that poor academic performance and lack of learning motivation were the most popular of dropping out of school. Moreover, recent studies on the relationship between academic performance and dropping out of school by Goule et al (2020), andOgresta et al (2020) and Stevenson et al (2021), have determined that students' academic performance have a great influence on going to school or not. Besides, different problems from schools were introduced in Ralph (1997), such as focusing on academic achievement, focusing on teaching, in Rumberger and Lim (2008) attributed to factors related to students' individual characteristics.…”

“…Among these, low academic performance (57.46%) and difficult family economic circumstances (26.49%) were the two causes that were commonly acknowledged by most parents, while serious illness and unconventional traffic were found to be rarely mentioned (only 0.75% of parents agreed). Low academic performance also appeared in studies ofLe and Tran (2013) andPham and Thach (2016) andOgresta et al (2020) andStevenson et al (2021).…”

The yearly dropout rate of high school students of Ca Mau was relatively high (as of 5.61% in the school year 2019–2020). The problems and consequences of dropping out of school might raise numerous social problems. Therefore, this study is to examine the factors affecting the students’ dropout of high school in Ca Mau province and propose several solutions to reduce the dropout rate. Data were collected from 06 districts in Ca Mau in 2019–2020 by interviewing 268 parents and 16 educational managers and surveying 168 homeroom teachers in high schools. The analysis results demonstrate that the main reasons for students’ dropout were poor academic performance (57.46%), economic difficulties (26.87%), living in an unhappy family (9.33%), and improper learning motivation (6.34%). The findings provided crucial information for practically efficient solutions in reducing the high school dropout rate in Ca Mau.

“…Slično, primjerice, za jedan dio NEET populacije u hrvatskom kontekstu, one koji ispadaju iz sustava obrazovanja, recentno istraživanje navodi da su heterogena populacija i naglašava kompleksnost fenomena(Ogresta et al, 2020).…”

Ples na rubu: okolnosti i iskustva položaja mladih u NEET statusu na području Grada Zagreba

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

NEET populaciju čine mladi koji nisu uključeni u obrazovanje, prekvalifikaciju ni na tržište rada. Cilj kvalitativnog istraživanja u kojem je sudjelovalo 15 stručnjaka i 25 mladih pripadnika NEET populacije s područja grada Zagreba bio je steći uvid u iskustva pripadnika NEET populacije i stručnjaka koji s njima rade vezano uz rizike koji dovode mlade do NEET statusa te uz njihovu perspektivu za zapošljavanje. Glavni rezultati pokazuju da razloge za nezaposlenost mladi vide u vlastitim neodgovarajućim obrazovnim i stručnim kvalifikacijama s obzirom na potrebe tržišta rada i u nedovoljnoj potpori javnih ustanova u nalaženju posla. Stručnjaci također prepoznaju obrazovni sustav i nepovoljnosti tržišta rada kao čimbenike rizika ulaska mladih u NEET status. Oni izvještavaju o nedostatnim evidencijama NEET populacije, njihovu otežanom dohvatu, teškom izlasku iz NEET statusa te o posljedicama tog statusa za mlade i društvo. Rad daje preporuke za unapređenje politika na lokalnoj i nacionalnoj razini te prakse u radu s NEET populacijom.
