PAULA, Josiane Souza de; FRANCO, Ana Maria de Paiva  y  SILVA, José Waldemar da. Factors related to school delay in the State of Minas Gerais. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2018, vol.29, n.72, pp.886-917. ISSN 1984-932X.  https://doi.org/10.18222/eae.v29i72.4928.

This article aims to analyze the main factors related to school delay in the State of Minas Gerais. We applied Hierarchical Logistic Models, based on data from Prova Brasil 2013 for 5th and 9th graders, to identify whether there are differences between the factors associated with school delay in the early and final years of elementary education. Results show that student characteristics and school factors are related to the probability of school retention, with regional differences in this regard. Results also show that the greatest chance of age-grade mismatch is for non-white male students, who also work part- or full-time and attend heterogeneous classes in schools with programs to reduce dropout rates. In addition, the performance of retained students seems to be harmed more in some schools than in others, depending on students’ socioeconomic level.

Palabras clave : Grade Repetition; Hierarchical Logistic Model; Prova Brasil; Minas Gerais.
