  • Source: primary data
    
  • 4.4 Results from bivariate analysis using chi-square test
    
• Among all factors of dropout discussed about in the literature, the respondents mentioned that distance from schools, parents' illiteracy, child's family poverty, one cup of milk per child, failure or repetition of children, and child's employment as well as the school location are influencing the level of dropout within schools.
  
• In order to determine relationship between level of dropout and factors affecting it, chi-square test of relationship was used where the level of significance was 5 percent; the findings of the study indicate that there is a strong relationship between one cup of milk per child with 0.000 (p-value) and the level of dropout within primary schools, while a weak relationship was proved from the findings between the level of dropout and parents' illiteracy with 0.046 (p-value). This indicates that as long as parents' illiteracy persists it is hard for policy makers to eradicate the dropout within primary schools and again for policy makers to ensure the decreased level of dropout one cup of milk per child program can better serve as a strategy for dropout reduction.
