Figure 8.12
Children drop out of school for a variety of reasons. As per the annual Poverty Monitoring Survey conducted by the National Bureau of Statistics in the 592 nationally designated poverty counties, economic difficulties were still an important reason for dropping out in 2010, but not as dominant a reason as in 2002. A small share of children dropped out of school due to the lack of a nearby school or no teachers in the school. Other children dropped out of school because they did not want to go to school, or for other reasons such as illness, failure to transition to higher education, or because of pressures to support the family in income generation.
