dc.description.abstractDropping out of school has become a very common phenomenon so much that the rate of school dropout is unfavorably disproportional to the output of the educational system. In view of this the research findings herein were the result of the investigation on the nature, and causes of secondary school dropouts in Bauchi and Gombe States. In conducting the research, a random sample of 580 subjects were used, consisting of 60 parents, 60 teachers and 460 students. Two different kinds of questionnaires were used and they include Teachers/Students questionnaire and Parent oral interview questions. Non inferential statistics were employed to test the hypothesis. The result generally indicated that in Bauchi and Gombe States lack of adequate feeding of students and lack of recreational facilities are among the strong reasons for students’ dropout of school. The findings include: i) significant differences between the attitude of teachers and students towards the problem of secondary school dropout in Bauchi and Gombe States, ii) that there was no significant difference between rural and urban secondary school in their retention of students, iii) that no one particular factor predominant as principal cause of school dropout, iv) more female are leaving school before stage of graduation than male and v) rural and urban senior secondary schools have no difference in their retentionen_US
