Gender and Regional Differences in Dropout Due to Distance of School in Sindh

Abstract

This research paper explores gender and regional differences in school dropout due to distance of school in Sindh province. The research is done through a survey of school dropout children in six divisions of Sindh. A sample of 5650 dropout children was selected to collect data with the help of a questionnaire. The results of the study show that there is no significant gender difference in children’s dropout due to distance of school. But more rural children in Sindh drop out of school due to far away distance of school as compared to their urban counterparts.
