Produktbeschreibung
While the issue of primary school dropouts has
attracted growing attention in educational research
and social policy circles, very few researchers have
directed their interests to explore in detail why
orphans drop out of primary education and the
consequences of such. The work of this book is
grounded in the data that were generated using
qualitative in-depth interviews and field
observations in Gweru City, Zimbabwe. Orphans drop
out of primary education due to family-related,
community-related, school-related and
policy-related factors. The analysis therefore
denotes an institutional perspective as it mentions
that, dropping out of primary education is as a
result of the weakening of the vital institutions
(external factors)rather than orphans independent
decisions. Based on the data; dropping out of primary
education comes as a process and not as an event.
Moreover, the consequences of dropping out of primary
education were seen to be dire; street children,
child labour, child abuse, teen substance abuse, teen
pregnancies, single motherhood, child prostitution,
STIs, HIV/AIDS, juvenile delinquency, illiteracy,
poverty and a reduced life expectancy.
