Abstract

One of the most
disturbing problems of our society is the problem of students’ school
abandoning. It is a phenomenon that in many stages followed up our society. It
is much more profound problem than actually it is considered, because it is
inherited from one generation to the other. In this study we consider many
fragilities of elementary and pre university education in Kosova. The right for
education is guaranteed in all international convents; therefore the society
should do much more in analyzing the main factors of abandoning, in order to
make efforts in the direction of stopping the factors which influence it. In
this research we are analyzing the main reasons of this phenomenon. For this
purpose there are prepared the special questionnaires. The first questioner is
fulfilled by the students and the second questioner is fulfilled by the
teachers. In total there were surveyed 450 students and 229 teachers from both
elementary and high schools in the Republic of Kosova. These data provided
descriptive information, quantitative and statistical interpretation. The
statistical analysis of the data is made by using the SPSS software. Also we
made the prediction of the future reasons using Google prediction system.
