A STUDY ON SCHOOL EVASION IN HIGH SCHOOL IN THE NORTHEAST REGION OF BRAZIL

Abstract

region. This study analyzes the difference in enrollment from the 1st to the 3rd year in several northeastern states, revealing that dropout rates vary significantly between them. The data indicates that school dropout is influenced by a combination of socioeconomic factors, such as poverty and the need for work, as well as issues related to school infrastructure and the quality of teaching. The lack of family support and students' lack of motivation are recurring factors that contribute to school dropout. The COVID-19 pandemic has also exacerbated the situation, leading many students to not return to in-person classes. This study emphasizes the urgent need for effective public policies that promote students' retention in school. Education incentive programs, such as scholarships and psychological support, can be fundamental to retaining students. Education is a fundamental right and must be a priority for everyone involved in training future generations. Understanding the causes of school dropout and combating it is crucial to ensuring that more young people stay in school and complete their studies.
