Abstract

The study investigated the causes of school dropout among secondary school students in Edo State. Three research questions were formulated and descriptive survey design was adopted. A sample size of 150 teachers was selected from the public school in three Local Government Areas of Edo State. The instrument for data collection was a questionnaire titled Counselling Against School Dropout (CASD). Frequency counts and simple percentages were employed to analyze the data. The findings of the study showed that school dropout was caused by indiscipline, failure, behavioural and emotional problems, and negative values of the society among others. The results also showed that counselling strategies were effective. Based on the findings, it was recommended that the counselling strategies should be adopted by teachers and counsellor in reducing school dropout among students.
