Early School Leavers: Understanding the Lived Reality of Student Disengagement from Secondary School
Prepared by the Community Health Systems Resource Group
The Hospital for Sick Children for the Ontario Ministry of Education and Training, this rich qualitative study addresses four questions: 1) Why do young people leave secondary school before graduation? 2) Which factors help to ensure that they stay in school or return to complete their diploma? 3) Do these risk and protective factors vary in nature and/or relative importance across different populations of young people? 4) What are the implications of the research for policy and practice?
Bruce Ferguson, research group leader has made presentations of this study to many audiences across the country including CEA.
