Abstract

This research analyzes the relation between violence, scholar desertion and academic performance in students of higher education. Violence in and out of their homes, physical or psychological, economical or sexual, impacts in the performance of students. Desertion is one of the most significant consequences. This is a case study that analyzes multidisciplinary factors that affect the school desertion and the relationship that exists between violence and the academic performance of students in higher education. The results are released from two simultaneous investigations, with objects of similar studies between the two works which maintain the central hypothesis that violence is a risk factor for the school desertion rate. Quantitative methodologies were developed, because surveys applied generated indicators and knowledge that allowed the design of a proposal to improve the academic performance of students. This research deepens the understanding of factors that affect school desertion.
