Like to know if any one done following type of research in Pakistan?


The study examined dropout rates in Pakistan high schools, using both quantitative and qualitative procedures. Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients were computed to identify those school-level variables that showed strong relationships to dropout rates.
A sample of 20 schools with the highest dropout rates was compared to a sample of 20 schools with the lowest dropout rates using a multivariate analysis of variance. Furthermore, 4 schools from each group were selected as case examples. Information gathered from administrator surveys, staff interviews, and on-site observations provided detailed descriptions of the characteristics of schools with high and low dropout rates. The findings of this study demonstrated that a number of school variables are differentially related to dropout rate. Implications of these findings for school reform are discussed.
who is dropping out, where they are, and why, and explained how prevention tools such as early warning systems and on- and off-track indicators can be used to identify students at risk of dropping out.
