Summary/Abstract: In these past two decades, school dropout has become a widespread phenomenon in the current school environment, illiteracy being an acute problem of the Romanian education system as well as a problem of the whole society, besides marginalization and social exclusion. School dropout is in fact the result of a combination of personal, social, economic, educational and family factors, strongly intertwined that generate many disadvantages. Without investing in education and without adopting optimal educational policies that reduce school dropout and that fold on the education system in our country, we cannot expect positive results but lead to lower education standards, which obviously limits in the future, the possibility for young people to train and develop professionally in order to integrate them into the labour market. The study has as object of research the phenomenon of school dropout. The research aims to develop a study in order to highlight the consequences of school dropout and the efficiency of the school system in urban and rural areas. The investigation focuses on establishing a diagnosis by conducting an analysis of risk situations and the effects of school dropout in order to prevent dropout and identify and establish methods and strategies for school reintegration of pupils and students in rural and urban areas who dropped out of school or find themselves in abandonment risk situations. The research is quantitative in nature, the necessary data being collected following a rigorous sociological survey by applying the questionnaire research tool and technique to 100 respondents in Caraş-Severin county. The aim of the research was to identify the main consequences of domestic violence on children and to observe how adults suffer. School dropout is a controversial phenomenon with a markedly visible impact on children's personal lives, showing effects in the future when they become adults and with multiple effects on society.
