Abstract :
Dropouts are defined as young children, who enrol in schools and for some reason other than death leaves school before completing the grade without transferring to another school. It may be
termed as ”dropouts”. Dropouts rate is the percentage of dropouts in a given year out of the total number of those enrolled in a programme in the same year. These are, therefore, annual dropouts
rates are lower than the dropouts rates from a programme, which counts the total number of children who start a programme and do not finish it. As science is an index of development , the concept
of causes of dropout as seen in STrFGM&CETDM . Charles Spearman’s coefficients , appropriate for both continuous and discrete variable, including ordinal variable give the Pearson correlation
coefficient between the ranked variable.
