Two school drop outs

Two boys, both children of security guards. One kid is above average when it came to grasp and quite intelligent , the other one a dyslexic child.

The above average kid was sent to a CBSE English medium school, could not cope with the medium of instruction and dropped out of school for good.

The dyslexic child went to a govt school and there was no support for a special needs child, he too dropped out.

How do we convince both parents that it is not the fault of the children but it is the system at fault and they should not be blaming the kids or punishing them for dropping out of school?
