DESCRIPTION OF CONTENTS:

The article is related to a study on drop out of school in Spain carried out by a study group of Sociology from University of Salamanca.

COMMENTS ON THIS PUBLICATION:

The research considers the drop out of school as a result of progressive process of disengagement of the education system which starts since primary school where students who don’t reach good results lose their motivation and often feel bored and not involved. As a result, 88% of those students who repeat school don’t complete their studies. Added to this are the current values within young people such as the tendency in living the moment without planning the future, taking risk with new things and experiences, making many friends and spending free time.
