School Dropouts
In Portugal, thousands of students drop out of school annually due to various reasons such as lack of financial means, family support, and information dissemination. Factors like delays in cognitive development, adolescence instability, family conflicts, and low teacher and school expectations contribute to the high dropout rates. Understanding these causes is crucial for addressing the challenges faced by students in the education system.

School Dropouts Causes and effects Mobility Madeira January 2022
School Dropouts In Portugal, every year thousands of students drop out of school due to lack of financial means, lack of family support, poor dissemination of information and alternatives and their own lack of will. The high dropout rate compromises not only the country's development, but also its education system.
Causes Students - Delays in cognitive development. Psychotechnical intelligence scales have been pointed out as a good indicator to identify these individual causes of school failure. The problem is that the vast majority of students who fail in school results, have normal development.
-The instability characteristic of adolescence is among the many individual causes of failure. It often leads pupils to reject school, to disinvest in the study of subjects and often to indiscipline. Devaluation of the school and the teaching profession. This devaluation on the part of governments and the community makes students disrespect teachers and the school itself. The increase in unemployment leads students and their families to devalue education because a person with studies does not mean having a job.
Family -Authoritarian countries, family conflicts, litigious divorces, are some of the causes that can lead to the pupil feeling rejected and starting to lose interest in his/her school career, adopting undisciplined behaviour. The social origin of the students has been the most used cause to justify the worst results, especially when they are obtained by students from low- income families.
Teachers - The management of discipline in the classroom is another factor which has a great influence on students' academic performance. But we are far from being able to say that a completely disciplined classroom is one where academic failure disappears. - Teaching methods, teaching resources, communication techniques that are inappropriate to the characteristics of the class or the individual student are also part of a wide range of causes
Schools - Teachers' and pupils' expectations of the school are low. In schools where this happens the results will tend to confirm what everyone expects. - The high number of pupils per school and class also tends not only to increase conflicts, but above all to decrease individual performance.
Conclusion No one can doubt that today's society is based on a set of values that discourage study and promote failure at school. Fun, Individualism and Consumerism, three essential values in today's society, are completely opposed to what school means: reflective attitudes, an incessant search for knowledge and values.
