In particular, the retention of boys to Year 12 has been problematic. This article reports on a study exploring boys' motivations to leave school early on the basis of an opportunistic sample of 22 boys aged 16 in Queensland. The article briefly explores the issues surrounding boys' early school leaving, and makes links between their experiences with teachers at school to their early school leaving decision. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Educational Research for Policy and Practice, 7(1), p. 47-55 | Publisher: | Springer Netherlands | Place of Publication: | Netherlands | ISSN: | 1573-1723 1570-2081 |
