THE number of children in Andalucia dropping out of school early has fallen for the first time in 10 years. It appears that Andalucia’s youths have realized the importance of training and studying if they want to find a job in the future, leading the number of pupils who drop out at between 18 and 24 to fall by 30 per cent, according to the Ministry of Education.
