A Multifaceted Analysis of Determinants Behind Student Dropout Rates Among Adivasis Tribal Children in Tinsukia District, Assam.

Abstract This study aims to identify and analyze the key determinants influencing the decision of students to drop out of school. Employing a descriptive survey method, the research gathered data from a sample of 40 teachers and 289 students who had dropped out from classes 5 to 10 across the district, utilizing a self-constructed 34 and 36-item questionnaire respectively. The findings reveal that dropout rates are highest among male students (58.5%) and are concentrated in classes 8-10 (75%), predominantly from private schools (73%) in semi-urban localities (62.6%). A critical demographic factor is the low level of parental education, with (95%) of dropouts having uneducated parents, primarily employed in low-income occupations such as tea garden work (41.5%), limiting their capacity to provide academic motivation and guidance. Analysis of student perceptions indicates that the decision to drop out is multifaceted, stemming from a combination of push and pull factors. Economic necessity to support their families emerged as the primary reason (21.1%), followed closely by a dislike for school (20.4%) and chronic academic failure (20.1%). Underlying these reasons are profound institutional failures: dissatisfaction with teaching methods (29.1%), a perceived lack of relevance in the curriculum, and a widespread sense of social rejection, with (78.9%) of students feeling ostracized by peers or teachers. Furthermore, behavioural issues and rule violations were prevalent, signalling disengagement.
The study concludes that student dropout is not a result of a single cause but a complex interplay of socio-economic, pedagogical, and psycho-social factors.
