Education, as one of the key indicators of social development, plays a crucial role in the national growth and progress of countries. However, the prevalence of student dropout, particularly in developing nations, poses significant challenges at micro, meso, and macro levels, potentially hindering development goals and leading to wasted resources. This study employs a systematic review approach, analyzing 27 domestic studies that were selected through a structured protocol to identify the key determinants of student dropout.
Findings indicate that the factors influencing dropout fall into two main categories: In-school factors, which include educational space challenges, socio-cultural and individual issues, with educational factors being the most frequently cited. Out-of-school factors, which encompass low cultural and economic capital, personal, social, and environmental security challenges, with cultural factors being the most frequently cited.
To develop effective interventions and strategies, it is essential to recognize that these factors do not independently lead to dropout but rather interact dynamically. Therefore, dropout prevention strategies should adopt a systemic approach, considering the network of causal relationships among these determinants. Future research should take a holistic perspective, analyzing the interplay between different components and stakeholders to enable effective intervention and management of this issue.
