School dropouts are those children, who leave their studies in between due to any reason either economic or social.

In India Article -21 in the constitution provide free and compulsory education for all children in the age group of 6-14yrs.

+ Academic pressure from school and parents

+ Did not get admission
+ Not safe to send girls
+ No proper school facilities for girls
+ No female teacher
+ The community they belong
+ The family background of the students
+ Wrong decisions made by the students themselves

Why school dropouts is a problem?

+ Higher the drop rate, higher the poverty.
+ Higher the drop rate, higher the unawareness
+ Higher the drop rate, higher the unemployment

And we know that in a young country like India, the government encourages children to go to school because ultimately they are the real wealth of the country.

Parents should also need to understand that education is the only way to get rid of unemployment, unawareness, and poverty.

Student counseling and parental support play a very pivotal role in deciding their fate.

students should be allowed to go in that field in which they are deeply interested and curious.

Also, parents should not impose their dreams on their children. Love doesn't hurt but expectations do.
