The reasons for non-enrolment in secondary education include the following:
loss of interest in education;
situation within the family;
problems within the family;
financial problems in the family;
poor academic achievement in primary school. The problem of early school leaving is also present in this canton.

The reasons for dropping out include the following: poor academic achievement; delinquent behaviour.
