Higher education, economic factors that affect school dropout. The case of the UNID Tlalnepantla undergraduate programs
Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine the economic aspects that influence school dropout among students at the Universidad Interamericana para el Desarrollo (UNID), Tlalnepantla campus. For this purpose, the qualitative method of cross-sectional analysis was used. The students chosen were the 28 who dropped out for the January-April 2020 term, although the interview was only answered by 17 of them. In short, the following were the reasons why they had to drop out: need to work (7), loss of scholarship percentage (4), academic situation (3), late payments and interest generation (2) and illness (1). For this reason, a decision was made to hold an informative meeting for the promotion area to train them on the programs offered and their scope. In addition, we are studying the possibility of increasing the economic support strategies for students, mainly through extended financing programs for the completion of their studies, since the extension expires at the end of each four-month period. Likewise, counseling will be provided to those students at risk of falling behind in order to reduce their chances of dropping out.
