Abstract

This monograph aims to analyze the causes of school dropout among 10th-grade students at the Engenheiro Filipe Jacinto Nyusi Secondary School in Maputo Province. Specifically, it seeks to identify the causes of school dropout among 10th-grade students, explain the consequences of school dropout on students' lives, and present strategies to combat the causes of school dropout among 10th-grade students at the Engenheiro Filipe Jacinto Nyusi State School. The research shows that the causes of school dropout among 10th-grade students at the Engenheiro Filipe Jacinto Nyusi State School are the distance from home to school, students' financial difficulties, the need to enter the world of business and agriculture/pastoralism, alcohol and drug use by students, pregnancy during studies, and the need to stay home to care for siblings, including the new cases of orphaned students. This study also notes that the consequences of dropping out of school on the lives of 10th-grade students are: difficulty finding employment, prevalence of illiteracy, lack of fundamental skills and vocational training, student exposure to social inequalities and the world of drugs, waste of the education budget, and preventing students who could complete their studies from entering school due to insufficient places occupied by those who drop out. The study also shows that strategies to combat the causes of student dropout include encouraging youth sports at school, English and French Olympics, singing and dancing competitions for students and teachers, partnerships with ViVa Mais for lectures on early marriages and teenage pregnancy, free enrollment for students who present a poverty certificate, awareness that all individuals of any age can enroll, and community outreach to students who drop out of school.(TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
