Abstract

Education is crucial to the people and the development of a country. School dropout among male students has become one of the major problems in Saudi Arabia, despite the uniqueness of the free education system in the country, yet it has remained an issue of concern in recent times. This research paper explores the social implications of male student dropout on society. However, the purpose was to contribute to the current issue of dropouts and suggest an alternative that can curtail the problem. The study employed a qualitative method based on a case study approach. Purposive sampling was used to identify the total number of 14 informants for a face-to-face interview. The collected data are analyzed based on thematic analysis. The study reveals that illiteracy, unemployment, stealing, and child abduction are the major social negative impact of school dropout among male students. Based on these findings, the study recommends that the government should come up with or enact a law that would force the parents to enroll and maintain their children at school until their completion. Therefore, the study highlighted the social implication of school dropout among male students.
