Abandono e evasão escolar no 1º ano do ensino médio em uma escola estadual

Abstract

This article is the result of a research on the problem of dropout and dropout in high school. The purpose of this study is to analyze the reasons that led some students from the 1st year of high school to leave the school year (2016) of a state school in the city of Senhor do Bonfim-BA, as well as to identify the number of students who have escaped during this same period. The reason for which the subjects of this phase were analyzed was due to the high national dropout rate and also the high dropout rate in the 4 classes of the first year of the school. The collected data were approached in a qualitative way and obtained through an information survey done at the school office and with a semistructured questionnaire applied to 11 students who left the school year. In total, 32 students dropped out and 21 dropped out, it is noteworthy that, unlike drop-out avoidance, the student reenrolled the following year. Of the 32 students who leave only 11 to accept to participate the rest was not located or did not accept to participate. In order to base the construction of the work, we used some researches by some authors that study the factors and consequences of the problem in question, as well as what has been done within the scope of public policies and actions. The main factors found in the survey, which led to the abandonment, were imminent disapprovals and lack of interest. There were also reasons related to pregnancy and job search. It was also noted that all students evaded in 2017, and the majority who dropped out, were aged beyond the recommended grade level. It was observed from the amount of abandonment, evasions and the lag in the grade-age of the students that the school needs urgent actions in relation to the problem researched.
