ActionSA calls for government intervention amid alarming dropout rates

VAAL TRIANGLE - ActionSA has raised concerns over high dropout rates in South Africa, urging government action. Statistics South Africa's data shows increased absenteeism, with nearly nine-percent of eleven-year-olds and close to three-percent of 18-year-olds out of school. Factors include poverty, teenage pregnancies, and lack of interest, impacting youth unemployment and socio-economic issues. ActionSA's Team Fix SA member for Basic Education, Tsholofelo Maforah, has pledged holistic policies for all children to attend school.
