Can social awareness impact students’ dropout rates?
Central question: Can social awareness impact students’ dropout rates?
The question aims to assess high school students’ aspirations with social awareness and completion of school. The education system should make learners appreciate the process and aspire to have visions that would influence the need for knowledge from school (Daunic, Corbett, Smith, Algina, Poling, Worth & Vezzoli, 2021). Learners tend to think otherwise and hope to undertake low-value roles in society to earn income and start being independent financially. Students lack the information about the value of the education systems that aspire to mold entities to become professionals with quality living standards.
Learners in high school are swayed by the material richness, which is limited to a specific timeline in a short span; they aspire to seek economic activities and hence drop out of school. Parents lack the connection with the children to encourage and motivate them at personal levels, thus finding meaning at school. Throughout high school, children require constant guidance to make quality decisions with long-term positive consequences. Social awareness of the need for education should be a constant factor that will improve the chances of completion rates.
