Study on ‘reasons of dropping out from schools’

A study with children who dropped out from Mother Project of Tomorrow’s Foundation

Considering the problems faced by students coming from Kalighat and Lockgate area, TF started a collaborative intervention 1994 – 1995 with KMC. The strategic partnership as based on a ‘win-win model’. Under this, TF offered need-based manpower support, quality enhancing teacher training, free mid-day meal for the students and increased involvement of the community to reduce drop-out rates. Other than providing these facilities TF followed up with the students who graduated from DTMS (Dharmadas Trust Model School), brought them to the evening remedial classes and provided educational sponsorships. Despite these efforts many children dropped out both from primary and secondary and higher secondary level. It has been a realization that like other places here too cases of dropping out is happening due to multiple factors. This study was initiated to know the reasons behind dropping out of students from TF Mother Project.
