This study was conducted to develop an Inclusive Schooling Model and an implementation plan for prevention of dropout at primary school level. Before working on this segment of the study, causes of primary school dropout were explored. Primary school dropouts, their parents and teachers were surveyed for this purpose. In the light of all reported causes, an inclusive schooling model was being proposed which can help Pakistani stakeholders to eradicate the causes of dropout and prevent the children from dropping out before completion of primary education. They may become potential learners for high school education and perform better socially, morally, economically and politically in the society. This model primarily focuses on professional, school and social transformation for the improvement of existing schools. A plan of implementation from federal level to school level was also proposed. This model is pedestaled on United Nation's and other international declarations as well as The Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan (1973).

This study was conducted to explore the causes of primary school dropout in Pakistani context. Dropouts, their parents and teachers were surveyed for the purpose. School and individual factors emerged as the major causes of students' dropout from primary schools. Student's socioeconomic status, grade retention, difficulties in learning, lack of interest in studies, unfriendly school, lack of basic facilities in school, teacher's hostile attitude with students were the causes identified by the dropouts. School, student and family based causes forced the parents to make decision of withdrawal of their brood from school before completion of primary education. Primary school teachers were of the opinion that the leading causes which forced the child to leave school were parental carelessness, poor parental economic condition, grade retention, student's out of school company, truancy, difficulty in learning, student's preference for child labor over studies, inability to continue learning, psychological problems, illiteracy of parents and student's poor health. Curriculum seemed out dated, irrelevant and inflexible. The teachers' professional training and commitment was a question mark.
