Abstract. Educational aspects play an important role in the formation of a country as the education sector acts as a major contributor to the development of human capital as well as the economy. The government is always committed to ensure that all children in the country who enter school are entitled to early education regardless of their socio-economic status. In this aspect, pupils in the Orang Asli community are no exception in ensuring that they receive a quality education which is relevant to their needs. However, the improvement in the education level of the Orang Asli community is still at an alarming level compared to the achievement of mainstream students. This study was conducted to identify the dropout factor of Orang Asli students in the education stream. It was carried out at Sekolah Kebangsaan
Sungai Berua, Hulu Terengganu. The respondents of the study consisted of Malay Language teachers, Orang Asli students, school administrators and local residents. This study used qualitative design in case study using interview and observation techniques as data collection method. This study found out that the dropout factors of Orang Asli students in education are divided into internal factors and external factors.
Key words: dropout, Orang Asli education, SK. Sungai Berua.
