Abstract | This research project aimed to gather data that could be used when developing strategies to prevent children from dropping out of a new school that is now under construction in a remote rural district of Timor-Leste. Twelve (12) people living in this district – three (3) teachers, three (3) parents, and six (6) adults who dropped out of school when they were children – participated in this project by completing a questionnaire and later being interviewed about their experiences of children not completing their primary school courses. The findings reveal a lengthy list of the difficulties that all children face in their daily lives in this district, including long distances from school, lack of transport, health issues related to poverty and malnutrition, family and cultural obligations, the need to earn money and a lack of support for education. When children eventually arrive at school, they find that conditions are not helping them to remain there and continue their learning. Schools lack facilities and are poorly maintained. Teachers need to be well-trained in modern methods of learning and teaching. The research concludes that strategies to prevent children from dropping out of school will require serious and sustained work to deal with the many existing difficulties by using partnerships and collaboration between families, schools, communities, government departments, government programs, donors, international agencies, and churches. |
