Abstract

The present dissertation is developed within the scope of the professional master's degree in Management and Evaluation of Education (PPGP) of the Center for Public Policies and Education Evaluation of the Juiz de Fora Federal University (CAEd / UFJF). The present case of management is focused on the analysis of the phenomenon of school dropout in high school classes from EEM José Milton de Vasconcelos Dias, located in the city of Maracanaú, Ceará. Because it is a educational institution that serves at least seven neighborhoods, and the only one that offers high school in the region, this school has presented an alarming number of students who do not attend school before the end of the school year. Against this background, this management case presents the following research question: What actions can the management team of the EEM José Milton de Vasconcelos Dias carry out in order to minimize the dropout of students in the high school? It is proposed, through this case, to identify and analyze the associated factors to the school dropout in the High School classes of this institution and to propose actions that aim at reducing the dropout rates of these classes of the school, mobilizing managers and teachers of the institution for their development. In order to perform such analysis, a bibliographical research was carried out regarding the researchers who have already dealt with the abandonment of school in their studies. In addition, a questionnaire was applied to 26 students, who were divided into two groups: those who dropped out of school in 2017 and are enrolled in the school where this research was carried out or at another educational institution located in the city of Maracanau; and those who left the institution in that year, but did not return to school. Through the questionnaire application, it was observed, as external factors associated with the school dropout, the violence, the need to work and the studies lack of organization ; such as internal factors, the disapproval, the school lack of attractiveness, the non-use of methodologies diversified by teachers and the non-performance of extraclass activities. From the results obtained, it is expected that the problem of school dropout can be treated not only as an obstacle in the development of education, but as an instrument that promotes discussion and debate about the creation and adoption of public policies and educational projects for this purpose.
