Long Abstract
:

This study investigates the issue of school dropout in rural Algeria, specifically in the Bir D'heb, Tébessa region. This area is situated on the outskirts of urban centers and faces numerous challenges, including poverty, illiteracy, and male dominance. The study aims to identify the factors that contribute to school dropout, including economic, social, familial, and educational factors, as well as the child's environment and the attitudes of teachers. Previous research on Algerian society has shown that social factors, parental formation, and negative experiences such as ridicule by peers and teachers are major causes of school dropout. Additionally, economic factors play a role as children may leave school to work and improve their family's living conditions. Education is an investment with the potential to provide financial and human benefits, but this potential is diminished by issues such as school dropout. By examining the specific challenges faced by rural Algeria, this study provides insights into one of the primary issues affecting the area's education system. Ultimately, this research seeks to contribute to efforts to improve educational outcomes in rural Algeria and to promote access to education for all children, regardless of their socioeconomic background or gender.
