Abstract

The basic education in a developing country struggle with parental disinterest and resource limitations, hindering education access. Despite offering free tuition and food, the school has witnessed a worrisome increase in dropouts over the past five years. Hence, the study was conducted to examine the challenges of learner's persistence. Key informants consisting of the teachers, parents, and three former students formed part of the research participants. The findings showed that challenges to learner's persistence include family problems, financial difficulties, absence of a security guard, school location, lack of parental cooperation, and inadequate learning materials. Finally, the study recommended specific strategies to address these challenges. The implementation of these strategies can greatly contribute to improving the learner's persistence and their overall learning experience in a free basic education program.
