dc.description.abstractThis study evaluated socio-economic factors underlying pupils' dropout in selected UPE schools in Southern Division, Kabale Municipality, Kabale District. The study aimed to assess the influence of peer pressure, family background, and pupils' characteristics on pupils' dropout rates. The study adopted a descriptive research design and used both qualitative and quantitative approaches. The study population was 100 respondents from which a sample size of 80 respondents including head teachers, teachers, parents, and pupils was obtained using Krejcie and Morgan Table, 1970. Questionnaires and interview schedules were used to collect data. The study found that negative peer pressure, family background, and pupil characteristics, such as academic ability, motivation, behavior, and age, contribute to pupils' dropout. The study recommends interventions to foster positive peer relationships, improve school resources and parental support, and provide additional support to pupils with low academic performance. The findings provide insights for policymakers and education stakeholders to design and implement effective interventions to reduce pupils' dropout rates and promote inclusive and quality education in Uganda.
