The study aimed to identify factors leading to students' dropout and implement appropriate measures to address these issues. This study was conducted using both secondary and primary data, and the randomly District of Sindh was chosen for investigation. The case study research design was combined with a qualitative methodology. The study's participants comprised two male and female taluk education officers, as well as students, parents, and members of the community. The purposive sampling approach was used to choose participants. Thematic analysis was employed to examine the data. The study's findings revealed that poverty, illiteracy, political involvement, child labor, a lack of infrastructure, and informal institutions are the most common causes of student dropout. Furthermore, there is no system in place at the district administration level to resolve these issues. The study suggests a joint action plan at the district administration level for implementing poverty-relief programs in Sindh's primary schools. This plan should involve school coordination with all relevant parties and diffuse the threat of excessive political intervention to ensure transparency and sustainability.
