| dc.description.abstract | In this study five constructs with potentially high toll on students’ dropout were examined. They consist of school examination policy, school discipline, staff attitude, school fees policy and staff gender policy. The sample of the study was 486 respondents; consisting 386 dropouts, 40 PTA chairpersons and 40 principals respectively. The responses from dropouts revealed the magnitude for each construct on student dropout, while that of the PTA chairpersons and principals gave critical explanatory voices about the variables under study. It was found that examination policies and discipline regulations operating in contemporary schools had the main effect on student dropout. The impact of school fees policy was at 49%. | en_US |
