N2  - This paper provides an in-depth review and analysis of literature on dropping out
from school, and focuses on children who have gained access, but fail to complete a
basic education cycle. The main discussion is around why and how children drop out
from school. Here drop out is not presented as a distinct event, but rather a process
where a range of supply-demand factors interact to influence schooling access. The
paper looks at literature in relation to household, community and social contexts of
dropping out, as well as school supply and practices. It also explores what research is
saying around pre-cursors to dropping out and factors which may influence retention.
Finally, the study identifies gaps in research around dropping out and how CREATE
research could address some of these.
