Ashwakh Ahamed B. A
Abstract:
This paper studies the educational policies and its impact on higher primary dropout rate, with a comparative analysis of two hypothetical regions namely Region X & Region Y using mixed approach methods; questionnaire filling, interview taking and policy document study. The key findings draw a picture of how the dropout rates have been significantly reduced in Region X through very comprehensive educational policies including compulsory education laws, financial support programs and strong support services; meanwhile because that has not generally happened to similar extend in Region Y, its obey intended conclusion is thatdown rate are higher The study also describes key factors in policy success, such as sufficient funding, community engagement and support for the policies etc. Policy recommendations call for better-funded, culturally sensitive efforts to truly reduce dropouts.
