Social Representations of the Causes of School Dropout among Parents, Students, and Teachers in Ipelcé, Burkina Faso

Abstrak / Ringkasan

School attrition rates have a negative impact on Burkina Faso’s education system despite efforts to provide a quality education. This observation prompted the present study, titled: “Social Perceptions of the Causes of School Dropout Among Parents, Students, and Teachers in Ipelcé, Burkina Faso.” Using a quantitative approach, our study aims to determine whether perceptions of the factors contributing to school dropout differ across social groups. The results obtained from questionnaires administered to a sample of social groups—including parents, students, and teachers—reveal that the perceptions formed are not necessarily the most common ones. Indeed, in the municipality of Ipelcé, social perceptions of the factors contributing to school dropout vary depending on the social category to which each individual belongs. In light of these differences, we have suggested measures to foster a better understanding and greater involvement of all stakeholders in the fight against school attrition.
