Problem Statement
Early school dropout more specifically when starting high school is an ongoing social
“dropping out of the school system on the part of the students, caused by the
combination of factors that are generated both within the system and in social, family,
individual and environment contexts. The intra-annual dropout rate only takes into
account students who leave school during the school year, this is complemented by the
interannual dropout rate that calculates those who drop out at the end of the school year.
The Ibero-American magazine infers that about 37% of Latin American adolescents
aged 15 to 19 interrupt the educational process during the school year and half of them
do so early, before consolidating primary school, in several countries the school dropout
elementary years and during the first year of middle school, school withdrawal differs
Dropping out of school is one of the most mentioned topics at national and regional
level due to the large number of adolescents enrolled, therefore it is very important to
conduct a survey in the neighborhood of Rosario de Piedecuesta that points out the main
psychosocial factors that affect the dropping out of school to counteract this problem.
