Explanation of the quality indicator "Absence and dropout rate"
Early leavers from education and training are placed at a disadvantage in the labour market and are at risk of long-term unemployment, social exclusion and poverty. The causes of early dropout and absence from VET are complex and multifaceted. Research has shown significant interplay between individualised explanations and system-oriented explanations of VET dropout.
On one hand, individual factors such as
- a lack of motivation
- underprivileged educational backgrounds
- membership in a minority group
can lead to dropping out of education and training.
On the other hand, structural factors at the institutional level including the
- learning atmosphere
- student–teacher ratio
- size of the organisation
play decisive roles.
