Many students do not finish school. Why is this, and
how can the problem be solved?
School Drop-Outs: Problems and Solutions
Today, although most students in the UAE complete school, a large number still drop out because of family,
social and work pressures. This problem requires serious action from both individuals and the government.
Most students who do not complete school do so because of family problems.
Girls, especially, want to get married and start a family. Some parents
are not interested in education and do not support their children in studying. Social problems are also a
contributing factor. Education is compulsory but, despite this, some people do not take it seriously.
Furthermore, jobs are available even if
students do not have a good education. The third reason is work pressure.
Some families are poor and need their children to work in order to increase the income.
All these problems will create young people who do not have any skills and who will not be able to
improve their lives for the family and the country.
There are several things that can be done about these problems. Parents
should be encouraged to send their children to school. Schools with baby-minding facilities should
be opened specially for married students. The government needs to stress the importance of education and even
offer financial support to students to continue. This will encourage students to stay at
school rather than start working.
In conclusion, there are several things that the government can do to allow more people to finish school.
However, a number of society attitudes also have
to change if the country’s young people are to achieve their full potential.
