Preferred term

dropout  

Definition(s)

  • Dropout is a casual term widely used to describe school noncompletion and school noncompleters. It is a problematic term because it is both incomplete, meaning it does not fully describe what it portends to describe, and because it is in some cases misleading, meaning it indicates that the onus of school noncompletion is only on the student. [Source: Encyclopedia of Diversity in Education; Dropout]
