Daryl [EMAIL PROTECTED]: >From my perspective, in Goa an effective intervention is necessary at the 10th pass level as opposed to the 12th pass level since a huge chunk of kids drop out between grades 10 and 12.
Gilbert Lawrence responds: What is the difference between dropping out of church and "kids drop out between grades 10 and 12"? :=)) Could the school drop-outs be due to Non-Practicing Catholic parents or prominent role models in Goa's towns and villages?:=)) Both groups transgress Goan values and cultures. If so, we now know where one of the areas for "effective intervention" lies to stem the kids dropping out of school. Also non-Practicing Catholics have a much greater impact than they realize. Just contemplate on this.
