SUMMARY

Students dropping out has become a serious attention recently, particularly in the third world countries. Many notions have addressed the main factors which underlies such a phenomenon. This study, therefore, aimed to identify the reasons for secondary school students in Jordan dropping out of their schools from the teachers’ point of view. In this sense, the teachers’ perspective was necessary to obtain overall depictions related to behind reasons of students’ dropping out.

The study was held in the first semester of the academic year 2021-2022 AD. Based on the data, the study concluded that there were 16 reasons for students dropping out of their schools to a high degree, and 6 reasons leading to students dropping out of their schools to a moderate degree, and 4 reasons leading to students dropping out of their schools to a low degree.
