Abstract
Pakistan is facing many critical challenges today, but most important among them is our education which
should be improved and expanded. Over the years, the ratio of dropouts becomes a very common problem.
However, the slight emphasis has been put upon towards the attitude of dropouts. The purpose of this study
was to document the voices of dropouts. Thematic analysis of the semi structured video recorded
interviews of 108 dropout children explored the factors such as psychological and cultural constraints,
demographic changes, and socioeconomic disparities have been identified as the major causes of dropped
out. If we improve or overcome major problems such as poverty, distance, teachers’ behaviour, subject
problems, language barriers, and sexual harassment we can decrease the rate of dropouts.
