Sumario:The study at CPEM No. 21 on school dropout in the 3rd year evening program reveals a multi-causal problem that intertwines socioeconomic, family, and emotional factors. The main risk causes are the need to prioritize work, family problems, and overlapping schedules. Despite 100% of students wishing to finish their studies, the biggest perceived barrier is not academic difficulty, but the lack of psychological well-being, emotional containment, and listening on the part of the institution (stress, anxiety). The initial intervention of a motivational talk proved to be effective, reducing absences and improving performance. Furthermore, the students' marked tendency towards an internal locus of control (71% and 86%) is a strength, as they feel responsible for their results. Recommendations focus on creating permanent spaces for emotional support and listening, teacher training in soft skills, and exploring flexible schedules for working students, seeking a more comprehensive approach to school retention.
