University life is an exciting period for many young people. However, in recent years, there has been a noticeable increase in the number of students leaving university. In the 2024-2025 academic year, 157,530 students decided to drop out.

Last year, 131,883 students left their university education, while this year that number has reached 157,530. What are the reasons behind this situation? Factors such as challenges faced by students and loss of motivation may play a role in this decision.

Reasons for students leaving university include financial difficulties, academic pressures, and changes in career goals. This situation indicates that the education system needs to be re-evaluated.

Additionally, it is noted that the number of students transitioning to open education high school has also decreased. In the 2023-2024 academic year, 437,169 students transitioned to open education high school, while this number dropped to 109,578 in the 2024-2025 academic year.
