A public policy proposal for evasion in Natural Science and Mathematics teaching degree courses. Práxis Educativa [online]. 2024, vol.19, e22737.  Epub June 18, 2024.

Dropout in Higher Education is a worrying phenomenon. Natural Sciences and Mathematics teaching degree courses present alarming indicators. Therefore, this work aims to present a public policy proposal that contributes to reducing dropout rates in the aforementioned courses. The theoretical foundation is based on three structuring axes: literature on evasion, Theory of Change (TOC) and Ishikawa Diagram. In methodological terms, it started from the Design Science Research (DSR), and the final artifact is a structured and flexible diagram to support public management. Tools were used to develop the problem and structure the proposal. Using the methodological tools, a design was created to reduce dropout rates in Higher Education. The artifact was created and designed to be used by managers who can use them as a model of ideas for its application, according to their local reality.

Keywords : Dropout; Theory of Change; Public policy.
