Critical Analysis of the Causes of School Abandonment

Abstract

The key to succeed in a professional career is continuous education. One of the serious problems faced by the educational system in contemporary society is the early leaving of school. A person who drops out of studies will not have the professional qualification required to integrate into the national or international economic market, eventually becoming the future unemployed worker. While in the EU the general tendency is decreasing, in Romania, school abandonment is increasing both at pre-university and university level. In this paper, the authors propose to analyze the possible causes and to correlate them with the evolution of the school abandonment registered in a composite university. The data are obtained from the national database and statistically processed. According to the results we obtained, the rate of the school abandonment which is registered in such an university shows different trends depending on the faculty profile and the economic environment.
