In order to create a proposal with management practices to compel the abandon of the students, this search defined that the development actions depend directly on the perspective of the schools managers in respect to the reasons and motives, which cause the respective abandons. Therefore, this work tried to understand the reality, the developed actions and the view or perspective of the managers or directors of the three schools, which participate of the project. Thus, it was realized a study of a comparative case with the documental analysis of the action pans of the schools and their indicators along with a field search, which had semi-structure interviews with the members of the managers of the schools. The obtained results showed the necessity of revisions in the scope of the Jovem de Futuro Project in order make it more effective to the needs of the schools. In addition, through this search it was possible to raise some management practices, which definitely can inspire other schools to compel the abandon of high school students.
