Les élèves français et québécois à risque de décrochage scolaire : comparaison entre les facteurs de risque personnels, familiaux et scolaires

This comparative study aimed to compare factors that are associated to the risk of dropping out of school amongst students from lower secondary school (12-16) in France (Aquitaine) and Quebec (Estrie). Results indicate that the factors that differentiate at risk and non at risk students are personal, family and school factors with a predominance of school factors whichever the country. This research work confirms the complexity of factors that impact on early school leaving and the necessity of devising multi-level interventions while considering the diversity of school droppers.
