Abstract

The dropout problem is an important issue in every UNESP social prep course, focus of several types of reflection. The authors' experience in coordinating "Cursinho Desafio" (a course that prepares students to take the university entrance test) motivated them to investigate the social and economical factors that may be predictive of a student initially driven to abandon his studies, trying to identify causes that prevent or promote evasion of the students in these projects by comparing two different samples by means of access to the course. The escape of the students who enter using for social economical criteria doesn’t differ, per se, from the escape of other students. However, this study showed us that the student's support network is essential, and as difficulties that are added up to their permanence, there is increased evasion.
