Figures suggest more teenagers are dropping out of school in Newmarket and Haverhill.
Poor mental health, anxiety, and cost of living pressures are among the main causes.
4.83 per cent of 16 and 17-year-olds found themselves not in education, employment or training in 2023/24 compared to 3.5 per cent five years ago.
Similarly, the proportion of young people in learning has decreased to 90.1 per cent from 92.54 per cent.
The issue is set to be discussed at a council meeting on Thursday 13 June 2024.
