Dropout Rate

Dropout rate refers to the percentage of students who do not complete a course or program, such as high school or college. It measures how many students leave before finishing their education, often due to various challenges like financial issues, lack of support, or personal circumstances. A high dropout rate can indicate problems within the education system or the need for better resources and assistance for students. Understanding dropout rates helps educators and policymakers identify areas for improvement to ensure more students successfully complete their education.
