School dropout is an issue threatening the world today. With the growing
number of school dropouts in countries like the developing world of Sri Lanka, it has
created fears that it will ruin the country's prosperity and the future of the children. In

recent times in the Bolivorian village of Sainthamaruthu Divisional Secretariat. There
are lot of resons for school dropout in this area such as Parents' illiteracy, carelessness
of teachers, parental abroad, lack of income, divorce, sending children to job, lack of
school equipments. Children are educationally, psychologically and socially
influenced by school dropouts. Their impacts have affected many of the children's
educational activities, psychosocial development and personality development. In this
way, it is aimed to identifying the factors of school dropouts, identifying solutions and
providing recommendations for reducing school dropoutss in the future. I have used a
sample method to collect information in this research. For this purpose, 30 students,
their families and 10 teachers from the school were taken for research in the Divisional
Secretariat Division. The information was obtained from the teachers for the status of
the students' education level. Furthermore, students' progress reports were also used
for research. Secondary were books, magazines, articles, magazines, internet and
electronic media. As a result of this, the education sector of the region is heavily
affected due to the increase in school dropouts in recent years in Bollivarian village at
Sainthamaruthu Divisional Secretariat Division. Therefore, the study examines the
causes of the school interventions in the area and makes it clear to the public about the
steps to be taken to diagnose and reduce the solutions.
