| Abstract | Studies conducted by the National Rural Development Institute (NRDI) indicate that migrant students have a higher school dropout rate than non-migrant students. In addition, rural migrant students experience higher levels of family dysfunction and abuse, teen pregnancy, emotional difficulties such as depression or low self-esteem, poverty, parents' illiteracy, and alcohol or substance abuse. Other problems include feelings of powerlessness, dependency, and isolation related to distance, cultural, and language barriers. Recommendations are offered to reduce migrant students' dropout rates, including: (1) a concerted effort by the federal, state, and local governments in funding and implementing programs to address deficiencies of migrant education and to promote early intervention of specific problems that contribute to the high dropout rate; (2) enhancing self-esteem and dealing with emotional problems as a priority in improving academic grades, school attendance, and social skills; (3) involving and educating the community and parents; (4) providing diverse services for migrant students; (5) early identification and intervention of at-risk students; and (6) organizing student support systems and providing services for older students. Detailed suggestions are made on instruction and at-risk student programs. (LP) |
