Overall the trend is a rise in the number of students that drop-out. The economy and tuition fee are most likely not helping.

 

 

 

 

 

A lot of students struggle financially and if their parents are in financial difficulties it can lead to them dropping out.

 

Drop-outs are always at the top of our agenda and something everyone looks at with a great deal of concern.
