近年来，柬埔寨皇家政府大力强调辍学问题。迄今为止，由于辍学率高，许多柬埔寨工人仍然没有完成至少九年的基础教育。此外，中学一级仍有大量学生提前离校。为了解决辍学率高的问题，解决影响辍学的因素对柬埔寨的教育政策至关重要。这项相关性研究探讨了哪些因素可能影响柬埔寨农村初中辍学。从四个农村地区随机选择了20所初中，并对517名七年级学生进行了为期一学年的跟踪调查。由于数据的嵌套和分层结构，本研究采用了两级分层线性模型（HLM）进行分析。学生，家庭和学校相关的因素进行了估计，使用两个层次的HLM模型。结果表明，年级保持，缺勤，学术期望，和私人辅导显着影响辍学，而家庭和学校相关因素对辍学没有影响。实际意义进行了讨论，呼吁坚实的循证策略，以减少辍学率。
In recent years, the Royal Government of Cambodia has strongly emphasised the issue of school dropout. To date, many Cambodian workers have still not completed at least nine years of basic education due to the high dropout rate. Additionally, a great number of students at the secondary level continue to leave school early. To deal with the high dropout rate, addressing factors influencing dropout is crucial for Cambodia’s educational policy. This correlational study examined what factors might influence dropout from lower secondary schools in rural Cambodia. Twenty lower secondary schools from four rural districts were randomly selected, and 517 seventh graders were followed for an academic year. Due to the nested and hierarchical structure of the data, the current study employed a two-level hierarchical linear model (HLM) for the analyses. Student-, family-, and school-related factors were estimated using the two-level HLM models. The results indicate that grade retention, absenteeism, academic expectations, and private tutoring significantly influenced dropout, whereas family- and school-related factors had no effect on dropout. Practical implications are discussed with the call for solid evidence-based strategies to decrease the dropout rate.
