Conducted interviews with 39 young adults in the Netherlands who left school very early and followed their career development for an average of 5.5 years after dropping out. Approximately one in five students returned to school and achieved the educational attainment desired by the Dutch government. A similar number returned to schooling but did not achieve the desired level of education. (SLD)
