Abstract

The case study will examine the factors related to failures in the first year of the integrated high school technical courses at the Federal Institute of Education Science and Technology of Southeast Minas Gerais - Campus Juiz de Fora from the perception of school actors. We intend to conduct a diagnosis to understand the factors that cause the retention, in addition to proposing actions for the low-income problem and consequent school retention. It was found that school failure, materialized in failure, has different factors, many of which are independent of the will of the student and are embedded in the organization of the school system. The failure ends up becoming a social instrument reproduction of inequality. It was adopted as research methodology the bibliographical research, documentary and field. The instruments used were the questionnaire and interview. Regarding the results of this research can be seen as the boys and blacks are more likely to get a failing grade. In addition, the parents of not repeating shown to have achieved higher levels of studies and participate more in the academic lives of their children. The perception of school actors regarding the factors that influence the failure found that they are not hierarchically subordinate and have no order of prevalence. Therefore, it is necessary to overcome the inequalities of access and permanence to ensure quality education, especially in a federal school where there is qualitative supply of material and human resources.
