Dropout among school students is seen as problematic and needs to be addressed, to protect the growth of the nation, particularly in the economic aspect. This phenomenon can be addressed by understanding the behavioural trends of school dropouts. This study aims to explore behavioural dropout trends through a systematic literature review. The process entails five primary methodological steps which were systematic searching strategies based on identification, screening, and eligibility on several reputable databases, data extraction, and analysis. The findings showed a considerable number of behavioural trends could be used as an early signal by the school to address dropout issues.
