Análise das causas do abandono escolar das raparigas na 7ªclasse: caso da Escola Primária Completa de Boquisso – Província de Maputo 2020 – 2022

Abstract

This monograph aims to analyze the causes of school dropout among girls in the 7th grade: The case of the Boquisso Primary School. Initially, we sought to understand the causes of school dropout, and the following causes were identified: early pregnancy, poor family conditions and failures. The students understand that the girls' dropout is due to early pregnancy and the family's lack of financial conditions, which causes some of them to start working while still at school age or get involved with older men with better living conditions. On the other hand, the teachers point to the same causes and look at this problem and cite as future consequences: financial dependence at home; precariousness of the future profession or job, search for informal work due to the low level of education as well as some limitation in the education to be passed on to their children. Finally, parents and/or guardians view school dropout as something that prevents girls from contributing financially to the economic development of their families and has little chance of working in good working conditions. The general conclusion is that both point to early pregnancy as the most frequent cause of school dropout, and that school dropout brings several limitations to girls' lives.(TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
