Retención de estudiantes vulnerables en la educación universitaria

Abstract

This paper is aimed to understand from a qualitative point of view the main determinants allowing vulnerable students to stay at university. The research found that more vulnerable students face numerous obstacles at the moment of entering into the higher education system: inadequate high school education, lack of resources or poor social capital to fit into the educational system, among others. Beyond these challenges, vulnerable students who successfully stay at the university system are provided with institutional and family support facilitating their educational development. Likewise, they have personal skills such as achievement orientation, self understanding and awareness about their own vulnerability.
