STUDENTS DROP-OUT IN INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER LEARNING IN ETHIOPIA MAGNITUDE CAUSES AND CURES'
Abstract
This study attempted to estimate the number of dropouts in the higher insti-
tutions of learning in the nation as a whole and whether there was a regional
variation in this regard by taking into consideration faculties and subjects with
emphasis on English and Mathematics.
Many factors were used to determine the causes for the sampled dropout.
Among other things, it was concluded that many of the sampled student
discontinued their education for academic reasons and a few for non-academic
ones as revealed both by empirical observations and correlational analyses. These
were then followed by a number of suggestions to alleviate the prevailing high
attrition rate.
