| dc.description.abstract | Starting from existing studies about the socioeconomic context that involves higher education in Brazil, the public policies that try to democratize access to this level of
education and the problems it faces, especially dropout, this research sought to identify
and analyze the hindering factors permanence in teaching and dropout determinants,
collected from secondary data and the perspective of dropped out students, based on
dropout students from a private higher education institution of face-to-face modality,
located in the municipality of Unaí, state of Minas Gerais. Considering the data and
information collected on the subject, it is likely that the determining factors of evasion in higher education in the municipality of Unaí-MG are related to financial issues, however, to confirm this proposition, a systematic study was carried out about the context of local higher education and the information collected together with students who dropped out of that location. For the development of the research, the use of the descriptive cross-sectional study method with a quantitative approach was chosen, in view of the characteristics of the population object of the research, the amount and nature of the information. The findings highlighted in this study will serve to develop policies and management strategies aimed at minimizing the difficulties faced by students in continuing and completing their studies, thus reflecting a reduction in evasion in higher education. | en |
