In my opinion it's a combination of things. One is that lecturers and tutors don't get paid for being available to support students (in australia anyway). Also, most students don't know and don't know how to get more support via student counselling. Also, society doesn't value education for educations sake as highly as it could which means that in most cases it's easier for a student to quit than to keep going when it gets tough which inevitably it will in most cases.
