DROP OUT?

The “Schargel consulting group’s blog” suggests that there are four major causes of students dropping out of school, namely:

1.) The child him/herself

2.) The family situation

3.) The community they live in

4.) The school environment

Could the above mentioned points be the real reason or are there other reasons beside these? My guess is: Probably.

From a public relations point of view, the dropout rate has a negative effect on the image of any school that has learners dropping out; whether it be the school's fault or not, hence it is important for any public relations practitioner of any school to develop and maintain an attitude of being proactive and not reactive; constantly scanning the school's environment and constantly conducting thorough research in order to stay on top of the game.
