Análise dos factores que concorrem para o abandono escolar dos alunos da 7ª classe: Caso da Escola Primária Completa de Matlemele, Matola (2020-2022)

Abstract

The present work, whose theme is “Analysis of the factors that contribute to the school dropout of students”, aims to analyze the factors that contribute to the school dropout of 7th grade students at the Matlemele Complete Primary School (2020-2022) located in the city of Matola, specifically in the headquarters of the Matlemele neighborhood, belonging to the administrative post of Machava. The work used a combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches with resources to interview and questionnaire techniques for data collection. The study comprised a sample of thirty-five (35) members, being: twenty students (20), six (6) teachers, eight (8) parents and/or guardians and one (1) member of the school board, selected by convenience or accessibility. The main factors for school dropout of students were identified as: family, economic and behavioral. The research results confirmed that, in order to mitigate school dropout of students, it is important that schools promote educational lectures, ensuring quality learning, the involvement of parents and/or guardians in the schooling of students, as well as raising community awareness about the value of school education. In addition, collaboration with local leaders can strengthen the integration of the community in the school environment. Given the data observed, a close connection between the school and the community is suggested, as well as the inclusion of curricular content that responds to the interests and realities of students' daily lives, contributing to the improvement of elementary education.(TRADUÇAO NOSSA)
