Abstract
The concept of female dropout form school is one of the
major problems in Pakistan. Recent studies show a high
dropout especially among female in rural areas. The
present study was conducted to find out the individual
and family level causes of female dropout from school.
Data for the study were collected from 148 sampled
parents in three villages from District Lower Dir. The
results indicated a high tendency of female dropout from
school in the study area. The significance association
was found between female dropout and physical
disability, poor memory, no motivation, lack of
guidance, low literacy level of parents and female
education was not a strong priority in family. In the light
of the findings of the study it is recommended that
government and donors agencies should launch
programs which should highlight the importance of
female education and should provide counseling
facilities to weak and disable students to minimize the
rate of dropout.
