Factors discouraging school attendance of students from administration science faculty UNAD-CEAD Simón Bolívar - Cartagena
The study of school dropout in ECACEN, presents the most important elements of this problem mainly based in the light of the factors: academic performance, family income, academic level, type and age. The ECACEN CEAD Simón Bolívar School is not exempt from this phenomenon. The statistics of desertion from the last two years show the following data; from period 2007-II to period 2008-I the dropout was 37%, and for period 2008-II 2009-I drop was 29 %.
In order to avoid the desertion of students of the school in the
ECACEN CEAD Simón Bolívar - Cartagena, several strategies have
been implemented. Among these were included visits to the places of desertion, students support, continuous availability of classroom systems in the CEAD, telephone and electronic communication and cultural events. All these strategies were created without the support of a formal investigation and depth understanding of their root causes. Despite of all the strategies used the desertion in ECACEN is very high. In light with the situation this study identifies several factors contributing to the
desertion of students of the ECACEN UNAD School.
