The number of Flemish children, who leave secondary school with no qualifications, rose dramatically in 2005. Since the year 2000, the number of youngsters leaving school without a diploma had remained stable at around 10%.
However, last year the figure rose to some 12.2% of the total number of school leavers.
The figures were compiled by the Belgian National Institute for Statistics and were published in Saturday's edition of the daily 'Het Nieuwsblad'. 15% of boys and 9% of girls have nothing to show for their time at secondary school.
Furthermore, almost one in three pupils have to repeat at least one year of their secondary education.
