Introduction

Nowadays, most of the youths have no courage in terms in terms of studies.

They didn’t prioritize didn’t prioritize their studies and don’t like the ideas of

attending school every day, maybe because some of them are facing different

kinds of problems and etc. The researchers observed that some of the youth

want to study but unfortunately their parents can’t afford sending them to school

and the finance they need. Out of school youth is one of the biggest problems

faced by our country. A country without its people is nothing and people who

has no learning will be least important to the eyes of the government. No high

paid jobs to be offered, no decent homes to live on and unsure life survival is

waiting in the future for the youths.

Casate, Ubay, Bohol is one of the barangay in the municipality of Ubay. Casate

has a high percentage of out of school youths. The researchers decided to know

what and why they choose to stop their studies. Hence the researchers concern

is to encourage them about the value of education in their future.

Almost ten percent of the of the estimated 39 million Filipinos that 6 to 24 years

old were out of school children and youth (OSCY), According to the results of

the 2016 Annual Poverty Indicators Survey (APIS). In this report OSCY refers

to the family members having 6 to 24 years of age were not attending formal

school ; and family members who are 15 to 24 years old are currently out of

school, not gainfully employed and have not finished college or post secondary
course. The most common reasons among OSCY for not attending school were

marriage or other family matters (4 2.3%, high cost of education of financial

concerns (20.2%) and lack of personal interest (19.7%). Among females,

marriage or family matters was the main reason for not attending school with

59.3%; while it is the lack of personal interest among males with 36.5%.

Education nowadays requires people to have good and satisfactory jobs to

avoid poverty because it helps people to have good income for each individual

and that can be the solution of poverty. But no youth is encouraged to work for

their families or assist their personal needs. It may be their choice to work

young, gain money and feel free rather than to learn a lot of knowledge that

could lead their way to success. Some are out of school youths because they

thought that the earnings of their parents are not enough. Supposedly, youth is

the key to the progress of the nation but reconsidering that they cannot even

prove it in this generation because of the different aspects that they encounter

in their lives.The main concern of the researchers of this study is to identify the

problems encountered by out of school youths in Casate, Ubay, Bohol. The

findings of this study will serve as bases in proposing intervention measures.

The purpose of this study is to enlighten the minds of the youth on how important

education is and its power to change their lives for a good future.

Pregnancy and Parenthood

Teen pregnancy can pose concern for students who are trying to high school

academic requirements. Nearly one-third of teen girls who drop out of high

school state that early pregnancy and parenthood as a reason for their decision,

according to “The National Campaign.Org”. Pregnant teens may feel

embarrassed about going back to school, struggle with morning sickness or

fatigue, and have difficulty of keeping up with their class work. Taking care of a

baby is time-consuming, so many may not have the energy to complete high

school. Pregnancy also affects college students, but with the availability of

online courses and the maturity that comes with adulthood, college-aged

women often have the opportunity to complete college coursework.

Financial Problems

Financially weak students have high possibility to drop out. Poor attendance

was the major reasons for student drop outs without completion [18].

Researcher also found that those students also drop out whose parents are not

interested in their studies [19]. Researchers studied that students drop outs

when they are depressed by their poor academic performance [20]. Findings of

previous research shows that there are many socio-economic factors such as

high cost of institutes, parents are not interested to educate their children
instead they want their children to work and earn, early marriage, security

problems that caused the drop out of students from polytechnic institutes [21].

Disassociation and Boredom

Many students became disillusioned with school because they believe that there

is no connection between the material taught in the classroom and jobs in the

real world. Civic Enterprises conducted a study where dropouts were

interviewed to find out why they dropped out. A startling 81% said that they

wished a clearer connection between job skills and the academics studied in

high school had been presented while they were in school. Teachers need to

work hard to keep students interested and engaged in the material being

presented in class and need to show students how the material applies to the

real world.
