This book provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the factors that contribute to school dropout among boys in poverty. It draws on research and insights from a variety of disciplines, including education, sociology, psychology, and economics. The framework is organized around four key themes:
- Economic factors: Poverty is a major risk factor for dropout, and it can affect boys in a number of ways. For example, poverty can lead to food insecurity, housing instability, and lack of access to healthcare. These factors can all make it difficult for boys to succeed in school.
- Social factors: Boys in poverty are more likely to come from families that are struggling with poverty. This can lead to a number of problems, such as parental stress, family conflict, and lack of parental involvement. These factors can all make it difficult for boys to feel supported and motivated in school.
- Psychological factors: Boys in poverty are more likely to experience mental health problems, such as depression and anxiety. These problems can make it difficult for boys to concentrate, learn, and interact with others. They can also lead to risky behaviors, such as substance abuse and violence.
- Educational factors: Boys in poverty are more likely to attend schools that are underfunded and overcrowded. These schools often have less experienced teachers, fewer resources, and lower expectations for students. This can make it difficult for boys to get the education they need to succeed in school.
The framework presented in this book can be used to understand the complex factors that contribute to school dropout among boys in poverty. It can also be used to develop effective interventions to address these factors. The book concludes with a number of recommendations for policymakers, educators, and parents.
This book is an essential resource for anyone who wants to understand the problem of school dropout among boys in poverty. It provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the factors that contribute to this problem, and it offers a number of practical recommendations for how to address it.
