Abstract [sv]

Omkring 30 procent av Sveriges gymnasieelever slutför inte sin utbildning inom tre år. Att inte slutföra sin gymnasieutbildning kan innebära stora konsekvenser för individen men också för samhället. Uppsatsen är en sociologisk studie av kvalitativ art där åtta semistrukturerade intervjuer genomförts med individer som inte fullföljt sina studier. Syftet med studien är att bidra till en ökad förståelse för varför gymnasieelever inte fullföljer sina gymnasiestudier, hur det kan förhindras samt hur individerna påverkas av att inte fullfölja sina gymnasiestudier. Som teoretisk referensram har vi använt oss av skolkulturer, stigmatisering och empowerment. Resultatet visar att stora klasser, stökig skolmiljö samt bristande stöd från skolpersonal är orsaker till att individerna som deltagit i vår studie inte fullföljt sina gymnasieutbildningar. De upplever att omgivningen dömer dem, att de tappat en stor del av sitt sociala umgänge och att de känner sig socialt isolerade. Det efterfrågades en individanpassad utbildning, mindre klasser samt mer stöd till varje enskild elev.

Abstract [en]

About 30 percent of Swedish high school students fail to complete their education within three years. Not completing their high school education can result in major consequences for the individual but also for the society. This thesis is a sociological study of a qualitative nature where eight semi-structured interviews were conducted with individuals who did not complete their high school studies. The purpose of the study is to contribute to a greater understanding of why high school students do not complete their education, how it can be prevented and how the individuals are affected by the drop out of school. As theoretical framework of reference, we have used school culture, stigma and empowerment. The results show that large classes, messy school environment and lack of support from school staff are reasons why the individuals who participated in our study, ended their education prematurely. They feel that people around them judge them, that they have lost much of their social life and that they feel socially isolated. They request a personalized education, smaller classes and more support for each individual student.
