SCHOOL EVASION: CAUSES AND IMPACTS OF SCHOOL EVASION IN BRAZIL AND THE WORLD

Abstract

This article discusses school dropout, a phenomenon that has been widely debated in different spaces, such as educational meetings and discussion forums. Dropout is a complex problem that directly affects the educational system, not only in Brazil, but also in several countries around the world. This phenomenon harms not only educational development, but also the social and economic dimensions of communities. School dropout occurs at all levels of education, from early childhood education to higher education, and is a constant concern for educational institutions. The objective of this study is to analyze the main causes that lead students to drop out of school, as well as the consequences of this act, both for individuals and for society as a whole. The research addresses factors such as socioeconomic difficulties, lack of adequate infrastructure, family problems, violence and the devaluation of the educational process, which contribute to the high dropout rate. Furthermore, the study explores the impact of school dropout on students' lives, such as the limitation of future opportunities, and the negative effects on society, such as the increase in inequality and social exclusion. Based on this analysis, the article seeks to provide information that can contribute to the development of more effective educational policies, which aim to combat school dropout and guarantee students' access to and permanence in school, promoting a more inclusive environment that is favorable to the full development of individuals.
