A PIDS study found that among out-of-school children (OOSC), boys outnumber girls. The study revealed that 2 in every 3 OOSC in the Philippines aged 5-15 years in 2017 were boys. Their main reason for leaving school is lack of interest followed by high cost of education. Other reasons found include illness/disability, lack of nearby schools, and being employed.
