Estudo sobre evasão estudantil na Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora entre os anos 2013 e 2017

Abstract

In Brazil, the dropout rate in higher education institutions has been increasing over the years. To this increase, government programs are added to solve this problem. Therefore, the objective of this study is to analyze student evasion in the first year of higher education at the Federal University of Juiz de Fora, identifying the profile of the student being evaded and verifying which reasons contribute to the probability of student avoidance of this institution between the period from 2013 to 2017. For this purpose, the data of the Higher Education Census (CES) applied in panel data were used. In addition to the descriptive statistics, we used the probit probability model. The results show that receiving support and / or participating in some research or extension project decreases the probability that the student will evade. It should be noted that student quotaters are also less likely to evade than those entering through wide competition.
