Summary

dataset created from a higher education institution (acquired from several disjoint databases) related to students enrolled in different undergraduate degrees, such as agronomy, design, education, nursing, journalism, management, social service, and technologies. The dataset includes information known at the time of student enrollment (academic path, demographics, and social-economic factors) and the students' academic performance at the end of the first and second semesters. The data is used to build classification models to predict students' dropout and academic sucess. The problem is formulated as a three category classification task, in which there is a strong imbalance towards one of the classes.

Introduction

College Dropout Statistics: Leaving College before finishing a degree happens more often than many people realise, and the numbers are surprising. Each year, millions of students drop out of College, which can lead to long-term financial difficulties, limited career options, and unfulfilled personal goals. Some of the main reasons include high tuition costs, challenging coursework, and inadequate support.

These dropout rates reveal serious issues within the education system that impact not only students but also their families and the U.S. economy. In this article,†College Dropout Statistics, we'll look at the latest college dropout stats, the most common reasons students quit, how dropout rates differ by gender and race, and how leaving College early can affect future income. Knowing these facts can help students, parents, and schools make better decisions about higher education.

This dataset provides the number and percentage Massachusetts public high school students who dropped out of high school since 2008. It also includes the percentage of dropouts by grade.

Dropout rate is calculated as the percentage of students in a given grade who dropped out of school between July 1 and June 30 prior to the listed year and who did not return to school by the following October 1. Dropouts are defined as students who leave school prior to graduation for reasons other than transfer to another school. Dropout rates are not reported for any student group where the number of students is less than 6.

Economically Disadvantaged was used 2015-2021. Low Income was used prior to 2015, and a different version of Low Income has been used since 2022. Please see the DESE Researcher's Guide for more information.

Introduction

College Dropout Statistics: In recent educational systems, the college dropout rate is one of the major issues that has been observed globally. In America, about 43.3 million people are supposed to drop out of college, with a 3.6% increase from last year. There are many factors contributing, such as financial struggles, lack of support, and difficulty managing work, family, and studies. In 2024, dropping out can lead to lower earnings and fewer job opportunities.

Thus, educators, policymakers, and students need to understand these trends so they can work on removing these barriers and help more students finish their education. This article includes several current trends and statistical analyses taken from different insights, which will help you better understand the report.

In 2023, only in six autonomous communities in Spain the dropout rate was equal or lower than ten percent. Ceuta was the region with the largest share of 18 to 24 year old's leaving education, with over 21 percent.

The variable examined is graduation status after four years of high school. Early and summer graduates are considered graduates after four years. The "other" rate includes students who dropped out of high school, enrolled in a GED program, transferred to post-secondary education, or have unknown status. Special education students in school after four years but subsequently graduated are not included in the "still enrolled" rate due to Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) restrictions. The subgroups reported are gender, race/ethnicity, English language learners, special education students, and students eligible for free or reduced-price meals (FRPM). The data replace the rate of students enrolled in 12th grade in September who graduated the following June. Connecticut State Department of Education (SDE) collects data longitudinally by four-year cohorts. SDE reports and CTdata.org carries graduation rates of four-year cohorts annually.

The average annual dropout rate for secondary schools in India was over ** percent in 2022, a significant decline from the academic year 2019, the highest among school levels. Primary schools had the lowest dropout rates. Early childhood education    India’s infant mortality rates in India have decreased over the years with the help of government initiatives. The government launched “Anganwadis” in 1975, to provide adequate medical care and to combat hunger and malnutrition in children. These government-funded childcare centers enroll children as young as six months old. Across India, there are more than a million Anganwadis that deliver early education, health, and nutrition services. These centers also provide pre-primary education for children below five years. Free education and midday meals    With low levels of reading literacy among eighth graders, faring well in the upcoming at the later stage, in the secondary school classes could be challenging. The government-run public schools provide free and compulsory education as a fundamental right to children between the ages of *** and ********. To improve the nutritional status and attendance of school children, the Indian government implemented the "Midday Meal Scheme" that offers free lunch to all students on working days. While simplistic in its approach, one meal taken care of during the day helps parents in the lower income groups, specifically those that depend on daily/hourly wages.

EDFacts Graduates and Dropouts, 2012-13 (EDFacts GD:2012-13) is one of 17 “topics" identified in the EDFacts documentation (in this database, each “topic" is entered as a separate study). EDFacts GD:2012-13 (ed.gov/about/inits/ed/edfacts) annually collects cross-sectional data from states about student who graduate or receive a certificate of completion from secondary education or students who dropped out of secondary education at the school, LEA, and state levels. EDFacts GD:2012-œ13 data were collected using the EDFacts Submission System (ESS), a centralized portal and their submission by states is mandatory and required for benefits. Not submitting the required reports by a state constitutes a failure to comply with law and may have consequences for federal funding to the state. Key statistics produced from EDFacts GD:2012-13 are from 6 data groups with information on Regulatory Cohort Graduation Rate (Four, Five, and Six Year)-Graduation Rate; Regulatory Cohort Graduation Rate (Four, Five, and Six Year)-Student Counts; Graduation Rate; Graduates/Completers; Regulatory Cohort Graduation Rate-Flex; and Regulatory Cohort Graduation Rate Student Counts-Flex. For the purposes of this system, data groups are referred to as 'variables', as a result of the structure and format of EDFacts' data.
