Abstract

This study investigates the multifaceted issue and factors of student dropout in the Faculty of Engineering and Informatics at UASF during the period 2016-2023. Through an extensive analysis of various factors, including academic, socio-economic, and institutional variables, this research aims to identify the underlying causes that lead to student bullying. Using a comprehensive database, statistical methodology, and qualitative insights, this paper shows all the factors that influence student persistence and identifies possible strategies to mitigate dropout rates. The findings of this study have implications for higher education institutions aiming to increase student success and retention. This is a phenomenon that many countries are facing, and it is very disturbing not only for the university career of students but also for institutions and society in general. During the last eight (8) years, a significant number of students have dropped out of this Faculty, and we have identified several factors that have influenced young people to drop out. The high rate of dropping out of the programs in the Faculty of Engineering and Informatics affects the lack of professionals in these fields and negatively affects the global economy of the country. The phenomenon of students dropping out of school is a serious problem in education at the university level in Kosovo and in many other countries. Dropout prevention is a major challenge for university education and for society in general. Therefore, discovering the underlying factors that influence student dropout is an essential step in preventing student dropout. The main reasons given by students for such dropout blah blah blah. This research suggests possibilities for reducing the dropout rate by updating curricula, using contemporary literature of recent years, applying modern teaching methodologies, improving laboratories, and improving student services through the self-service terminal.
