To this end, a survey of dropout data is carried out for a period of 5 years, and in parallel an investigation with the evaded students about the reasons that led them to evade the course in which they were enrolled. To clarify possible patterns and trends, dropout data are confronted with the influential factors (causes) of dropout.
