This research aimed at addressing the causes and solutions of school dropouts in lower secondary schools (grade 7-9) in Kampong Speu province.

Participants from both urban and rural areas were totally twelve people, including school principals, teachers, parents, and dropout students. This study collected data by using interview and observation and used content analysis to analyze data.
