Factores que propician la deserción universitaria en mujeres beneficiarias del programa becas tecnologías de la Alcaldía de Medellín

Abstract

Student desertion is a phenomenon that seriously affects the training process, understood as the process of abandonment, voluntary or forced, of the career in which a student is enrolled, either for academic reasons or for economic reasons (Restrepo, 2011). The university desertion of female students in the Institutions of Higher Education of the Municipality of Medellín, becomes a challenge that transcends internal scenarios and becomes an issue that requires an inter-institutional view, where the public sphere converges, from the perspective of public policy for the Urban and Rural Women of Medellín, the academy and SAPIENCIA. This is how, through the present investigative exercise, it is intended to establish if there are factors that favor university desertion in women beneficiaries of the technology scholarship program of the Mayor's Office of Medellín, for which an investigation is proposed that allows a conceptual approach, applying qualitative research which includes the documentary review and the interview. In the results, although the work and effort carried out by the professionals of the permanence area of the SAPIENCIA area to avoid dropout phenomena are highlighted, it is found that the dropout factors of higher education for women respond, identified in the present approach to the gender roles that have been raised historically.
