Abstract
A descriptive model of absenteeism and early withdrawal from school is developed using a census of the students registered in 1974-75 in secondary III, IV, and V of the Francophone sector of a large Quebec school board located in a highly urbanized area. Crosstabular analysis tends to show that the streaming system is inversely related to absenteeism and dropping-out, even when intelligence, age, academic performance, and type of school are considered separately. A path analytic model confirms the crosstabular analysis: The streaming system remains associated with both absenteeism and dropping-out. The data also confirm some of the results of previous studies on dropping-out. Certain statements of the study are qualified with respect to intervention policies.
