| Description | This presentation explores the complex issue of upper secondary school students who either drop out or fail their final examinations, focusing on both students’ experiences and schools’ responses. It identifies key risk factors such as socioeconomic conditions, school-related and psychological barriers, and examines how institutional practices and teacher attitudes can exacerbate these challenges. Finally, it discusses evidence-based strategies for prevention, early identification, and individualized support, highlighting the need for systemic approaches rather than fragmented interventions. |
