%X Early school leaving without graduation has a negative effect on students¡¯ vocational, personal, and social perspective. Based on the question of the prevalence of early school leaving in Germany, serious consequences for school dropouts are discussed. The article at hand takes a primarily educational perspective. On the basis of metaanalyses an overview of empirically confirmed individual, familial and school related risk factors is given. Furthermore, the factors are integrated into a developmental model and described in their temporal progress. Finally, promising and internationally validated interventions to prevent dropouts are outlined that are mostly unknown in Germany.
