Dropping out of high school has important implications for individuals, as well as for society as a whole. Individuals who do not complete high school are likely to have a more negative labor market experience than graduates, especially in terms of unemployment. The societal impact includes foregone tax dollars, and possible increased welfare and prison expenses. Vocational education represents a potential strategy for increasing the relevancy of education for dropout-prone youth, and thus a means of encouraging them to complete their high school education. |
