Secondary vocational education has always been the focus of national education. China vigorously develops secondary vocational education and even encourages secondary vocational students to complete their studies through tuition reduction or exemption. However, the phenomenon of school dropout has not yet been resolved, which has seriously affected the normal development of secondary vocational education in our country. In rural China, many girls drop out of school at the secondary vocational level, and their reasons are also different. This study used a qualitative research method to study three secondary vocational school dropout girls in P village. It explores and analyzes the various factors that affect and restrict their dropout to suggest solving secondary vocational school dropout in rural areas. This study used semi-structured interviews to collect data and used Nvivo for data analysis. The research found that the reasons for female secondary vocational school students dropping out include (a) secondary vocational girls are susceptible to interference from the external environment, (b) secondary vocational female students have poor resistance to frustration, and (c) indulging in games—entertainment activities.
