Abstract:  The  research investigates the
causes  and   the results of  the school
dropout in Bihor County. The first part of
the  paper   analyses  the  international
specialty literature in this field and also
works  of Romanian  authors. The  second
part of the study consists of the analysis of
the  data  obtained  through  qualitative
techniques,  i.e. the use  of  the  half-
structured interview and of the focus group
interview.
        The  qualitative research shows
that  the most   affected by  the school
dropout is the Rroma population, the most
frequent causes of this phenomenon being :
the poverty, the low educational level of
the  parents, their indifference towards
school, the tradition and the pupil's group
of friends (his/her company). The school
dropout leads to youth delinquency and to
a  low  level of integration on  the job
market. The research is an exploratory one
and  it is the first stage of a larger project
of study on school dropout and its results
in the North- Western part ofRomania.

       Despre   problema abandonului
Scolar, ca gi despre multe alte probleme
sociale precum   gomajul, prostitulia sau
sdrdcia s-a vorbit foarte pulin in Rominia
regimului   Ceaugescu. Acestea erau
considerate   mai degrabd probleme
apartindnd  tdrilor capitaliste sau tdrilor
lumii a Ill-a. Se presupunea cd sistemul
socialist le poate rezolva cu succes Cu
toate acestea atit womajul, prostitulia, cdt
gi abandonul Scolar au existat in perioada


Ceaugescu,  chiar daca nu  la nivelul de
dupd  1989.  Totodatd  sdrdcia a fost un
element  prezent  in vechiul regim,  dar
care nu avea loc in discursurile oficiale.
      Dupd   1989 toate aceste probleme
sociale au captat atenlia atit a
specialistilor   in    stiinte   sociale,
jumalistilor cdt gi a politicienilor. S-a
inteles faptul ci problemele menlionate
sunt inerente oncirei societdli i ca- nu se
pot  elimina, ci doar se  pot reduce  ca
nivel de manifestare.
      Cercetarea    noastri   urmireste
cauzele   gi  consecintele  abandonului
Scolar  punind  un  accent  deosebit  pe
situatia rromilor. Comparativ   cu   alte
grupuri etnice din Rominia   rromii sunt
cei  mai  afectali de saracle,  omaj   i
abandon   Scolar. Comparativ  cu  media
nalionald rromii au  un risc triplu de a
deveni  saraci. Marea   vulnerabilitate a
grupului  rromilor   e  cauzatd  de   un
complex   de factori ca nivelul scdzut de
pregdtire  colard gi vocalionald, pozilia
precard pe piala muncii, numdrul mare de
copii    din    familiile   de    rromi,
discriminarea   lor  de   citre   grupul
majontar    i  implicarea  in  economia
informald. Eu consider cd se poate vorbi
in cazul rromilor de un cerc vicios. Fund
sdraci in marea lor majoritate nu dispun
de resurse pentru a-gi finaliza pregdtirea
Scolard     gi    profesionald.    Multi
abandoneazd   coala dupd  4,5 sau 6 clase
gi in consecinth au probleme in a-gi gasi
un loc de munch. Neavind  multi dintre ei
locuri de munch  se implic  in economia
informald, emigreazd in tdrile occidentale
sau comit  infracliuni. Problema rromilor
