Abstract

The expansion of the Federal Education Network brought numerous challenges and among them the performance in the face of school dropouts on the Manacapuru Advanced Campus, especially in the subsequent modality and the reasons that led students to drop out.Thus, this article aimed to identify which factors have led students from the subsequent modality of the Manacapuru Advanced Campus to dropout. The method used in the research was divided into two aspects: as for the purposes, the research was bibliographical and descriptive, as for the means, the case study on that campus was used to know the factors of school dropout in 2019. Fifteen dropout students participated in the research, 05 professors, 05 technical-administrative servers and the campus manager. The research results, based on the data analysis spiral method, pointed out the main factors that have led students from the subsequent modality to dropout, which are: studying higher education at another institution; the feeling of dismay with the course;financial difficulties for not having a professional occupation; sick leave and new job; insecurity and personal difficulties. The conclusion points out that the Student Assistance policies within the IFAM are essential for the permanence of students, but factors external to the institution, combined with family, social and financial problems were more relevant in the decision of students to complete or not the subsequent technical courses they started.
