| contents | Student dropout is a global issue influenced by personal, familial, and academic factors, with varying rates across countries. This paper introduces an AI-driven predictive modeling approach to identify students at risk of dropping out using advanced machine learning techniques. The goal is to enable timely interventions and improve educational outcomes. Our methodology is adaptable across different educational systems and levels. By employing a rigorous evaluation framework, we assess model performance and use Shapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) to identify key factors influencing predictions. The approach was tested on real data provided by the Moroccan Ministry of National Education, achieving 88% accuracy, 88% recall, 86% precision, and an AUC of 87%. These results highlight the effectiveness of the AI models in identifying at-risk students. The framework is adaptable, incorporating historical data for both short and long-term detection, offering a comprehensive solution to the persistent challenge of student dropout. |
