Reasons:

Factual Reasons:

• Prime reason is dearth of quality education. From Grade 6th/7th onwards educationally weak students would not understand lessons in languages and Mathematics hence, schooling becomes burden to them.
• To avoid this trouble, the child seeks friendship and enjoyment outside the school.
