“…3 More specific measures of Conduct Disorder are examined by a number of studies. Rumberger (1995) shows that students who misbehaved had a higher probability of dropping out at grade eight. Cairns et al (1989) find that aggressive behaviour increased the likelihood of both males and females dropping out of school before completing year 11.…”

This paper examines the links between childhood conduct disorder problems and schooling and labour market outcomes net of genetic and environmental effects. The results show that individuals who experienced conduct disorder problems are more likely to leave school early, have poorer employment prospects and lower earnings. These findings are shown to be due to the genetic and environmental influences that are generally not considered in studies of schooling and labour market outcomes.

“…Research suggests that difficulties in coping with multiple transitions may underlie some of the negative effects that many students experience during the transition from elementary to middle school (Eccles et al, 1993). These effects include a decline in motivation and a loss of self-esteem, particularly when the transition occurs at younger ages (Rudolph et al, 2001;Simmons & Blythe, 1987); decline in academic achievement (Alspaugh, 2001;Alspaugh & Harting, 1995;Hanushek, Kain, & Rivkin, 2004); strains on interpersonal functioning (Barber & Olsen, 2004); and, in the long term, increased risk of dropping out of school (Alspaugh, 1998;Rumberger, 1995).…”

A key issue regarding the educational policy in Greece and the European Union is the early leaving of the school. On the one hand, rises the problem of under-birth that some developed countries face and, on the other, the existence of economically and socially non-productive people, who nevertheless consist a part of the society. In our time and more than ever, society must overcome various obstacles in order to achieve the development and sustainable growth which is also Europe's strategy for this decade. In the this study the authors examine early school drop-out by focusing on the social causes and on the research findings that have been carried out, indicating measures and strategies for prevention and treatment. A second part of the study concerns the presentation of the European Union's educational policies in the context of the Europe 2020 strategy, with the aim of showing the progress of the strategic actions in the education of Greece. Our study shows that the EU member states are making great efforts in order to achieve the best possible result in education in the shortest possible time: That is, to form efficient teachers and schools by emphasizing and empowering the elimination of social and educational exclusions, as an integral part of the pursuit of progress and development of the society and the economy.
