Indonesia’s geographical position and contour are vulnerable to natural disasters. Natural disasters can have devastating impacts both in terms of economic, social, infrastructure, and psychological well-being.

This study aims to assess the extent to which natural disasters can influence the dropout rate in the levels of education from primary school to high school and identify socio-economic factors that impact dropout rates in Indonesia. Using data from both IFLS and DIBI in the years 2007 and 2014, this study employs the probit regression method. This study employs the probit regression method.
