Les Baléares : quand le soutien relationnel favorise la poursuite des études en formation professionnelle de base

Abstract

[eng] The article analyses the intention to abandon low-level vocational training studies in the Balearic Islands. The study concerns students who manifested their intention to dropout a few months after the start of the school year and those who did not consider abandonment. We compare socio-demographic characteristics and educational paths in relation to the concept of 'school engagement'. The results show a relationship amongst life contexts, educational paths and the expectations and motivations of young people to pursue their studies. Keywords: technical & vocational education, drop out, young person in difficulty, school support, social network, Spain.
