Abstract: The subject of this research is school abandonment in secondary education in Romania, marked by problems such as functional illiteracy and social exclusion. Secondary analysis of data collected between 2012 and 2022 reveals a decrease in dropout rates, suggesting a positive impact of recently implemented educational reforms. However, the persistence of differences between urban and rural areas underlines the importance of adapting education policies to the specificities of each region. The study's recommendations emphasise the need for continuous monitoring of data to support informed policy decisions and ensure equitable access to education, making an essential contribution to optimising strategies to combat early school abandonment.
