Leaving school early has been shown to have detrimental effects on the life chances, well being and health of young people and their communities. Despite this, a significant portion of today's youth chooses to leave school early. Unfortunately, little is understood about the processes and factors involved in the decision to leave school, and hence schools and systems are uncertain about how to decrease dropping out. Understanding the processes and factors involved in the decision to leave school early, and identifying the basis for between-school differences, will assist in the development of programs and curricula that will be more successful in increasing retention rates, hence enhancing the skill base of Australia's youth.

事实证明，过早离开学校对青年人及其社区的生活机会、福祉和健康产生不利影响。尽管如此，今天的年轻人中有很大一部分选择提前离开学校。不幸的是，人们对决定辍学的过程和因素知之甚少，因此学校和系统对如何减少辍学率没有把握。了解决定提前离校的过程和因素，并确定学校之间差异的基础，将有助于制定更成功地提高保留率的方案和课程，从而加强澳大利亚青年的技能基础。
