Assistant Professor Dr. Ahmed Saeed rashid ALtaee Director of the Department of Psychological Counseling and Educational Guidance at Alnoor University, published a research paper titled "Psychological Stress and Its Relationship with School Dropout Among Primary School Pupils in Nineveh Governorate" in the Educational Studies Journal, issued by the Center for Educational Research and Studies at the Ministry of Education.
In his study, he pointed out that the phenomenon of school dropout is one of the most serious problems facing countries around the world in general, and Arab countries in particular, due to its negative effects on the advancement and development of society. It stands as a major obstacle, especially since it significantly and fundamentally contributes to the spread of illiteracy and the lack of individual integration into development. This causes a single society to become a mix of two groups: the educated and the illiterate, which in turn leads to the society falling behind other communities, as it becomes difficult to achieve harmony between the two in terms of ideas and performance—each acting according to its own pattern.
