Abstract

The aim of this research is to investigate the main factors leading to Early School Leaving (ESL, or “Drop-out”), its consequences as a potential cause of Social Exclusion (SE), and the Motivations and Expectations for Re-education (MR), which push early school leavers back to education, as well as the correlations among them (ESL, SE, and MR). More specifically, through a nationwide sampling, a structured questionnaire examining the issues under  investigation was constructed and distributed to 1,425 learners from Second Chance Schools (SCS). The results indicate that the main causes of ESL are mainly social and economic factors, which constitute both causes of ESL and SE factors, while economic and educational incentives for attending SCS are also highlighted as important
