Yes, children from low-income families are more likely to drop out of school. Multiple studies and statistics show that family economic status plays an important role in students' educational persistence and completion. Here are some of the main reasons and related factors: ### 1. Financial pressure Students from low-income families may need to help their families share the financial pressure during their studies, such as working to supplement their family income. This financial burden may cause them to reduce their study time or even drop out of school. ### 2. Limited educational resources Low-income families usually find it difficult to provide their children with sufficient learning resources, such as reference books, computers, and a good learning environment. In addition, the cost of attending extracurricular tutoring classes or other educational activities may also be a hindrance. ### 3. Insufficient family support Financial difficulties may lead to increased stress within the family. Parents may not be able to provide their children with enough academic support and guidance due to busy work or lack of educational background. ### 4. School environment and support Schools in low-income communities may be relatively scarce in resources, insufficient teaching staff, and uneven education quality, which may also affect students' learning motivation and performance, thereby increasing the risk of dropouts. ### 5. Social and psychological factors Children from low-income families may face more social pressures, such as social prejudice, low self-esteem and other psychological problems, which may affect their academic performance and willingness to continue learning. ### Improvement measures In order to reduce the dropout rate of students from low-income families, all sectors of society can take the following measures: - **Provide financial support**: Reduce the financial burden of students through scholarships, grants and tuition waivers. - **Strengthen school resources**: Increase investment in schools in low-income areas, improve the quality of education, and provide more learning resources and support services. - **Family and community support**: Carry out parent education programs to raise parents' awareness of the importance of education and enhance family support for their children's studies. - **Psychological counseling and social support**: Provide students with mental health services to help them cope with stress and psychological challenges. ### Conclusion Although children from low-income families face a greater risk of dropping out of school, through the joint efforts of all sectors of society and effective policy support, this risk can be significantly reduced, helping them complete their studies and achieve common progress for individuals and society.
