of the dropout of girls at secondary school level are cultural factors,
school level factors, household factors and economic factors which can be
countered by providing proper facilitations trained counselors in
educational system. While studying many of the researches about the
dropout done in the past, the issue of dropout students from the schools
has been conceded out heedlessly of students’ gender. The studies about
the dropout of the girls have also been done by many of the researchers
throughout the world in their respective regions. Therefore, this study as

factors such as early marriages, pregnancy, absenteeism, etc. That may be
contributing extensively in the increase of dropout foremost in female
students and the impacts of these factors are always negative on
