Abstract

This paper presents the results of the research on school dropout, retention and success in the Technical Course in Computer Science Integrated to High School of the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Rio de Janeiro (IFRJ-CAC). The aim was to evaluate the influence of the socioeconomic and academic dimension on school dropout in technical courses integrated with secondary education. The study population consisted of 122 students who evaded the course from March 2011 to December 2017. Bibliographical and documentary research was carried out to collect information on school dropout at IFRJ-CAC. Data analysis was qualitative and quantitative. The results show that the socioeconomic and academic dimensions are articulated and influence on school dropout. Therefore, investments in social and pedagogical policies that meet these issues are important strategies for school retention and success. In addition, the dissemination of factors that cause school dropout and ways of coping with it may contribute to improving school attendance and success rates.
