Book Description
Over the past fifty years, studies in developing countries have attempted to document the loss of literacy and numeracy skills suffered by dropouts from primary schools. These studies all have employed a cross-sectional sample design and have affirmed that dropouts suffer a rapid and substantial loss of basic skills during the first few years from school. This paper reconsiders the conventional wisdom regarding the retention of basic skills through a case study of inschoolers and dropouts from primary schools in the Arab Republic of Egypt (ARE). The results contradict many of the received hypotheses within the literature on retention. The paper maintains that when continuing students are distinguished from would be dropouts, there is no evidence of a significant loss of skill during the first year from school. After the first year from school, the skill levels of dropouts change slowly or not at all. However, the skill levels of dropouts, including those still in school but about to drop out, are at least two grade levels below those of continuing students. Even sixth grade dropouts do not appear to attain "functional" literacy or numeracy. These results demonstrate that mere attendance through the fourth grade is not sufficient to ensure functional literacy
