Educación media superior deserción escolar factores económicos motivación del alumno. The scholar drop out is not an individual decision. It is conditioned by contextual factors which are identified and analyzed in this research paper among high school students. A survey was applied to 147 high school students to know their family situation, scholar history, reasons why they drop out and their future plans, among other relevant reasons. The results indicated that 86% of the surveyed students abandoned the school between the first and the third semester. Their grade average during the last semester studied was 7.49. The main reasons of the desertion of these students were: economic factors, failure in some subjects, and the lack of interest in their studies. 93% of the participants were not satisfied with the academic level they reached. Nonetheless, they did not plan to resume their studies. The results demonstrated the necessity of an intervention model based on educational policies with higher incentives to add to the school system, flexibility of the transit among subsystems and restructuration of the communication network among the principal actors. La deserción escolar no es una decisión individual, está condicionada por factores contextuales que se identifican en el presente trabajo y se analizan en estudiantes de educación media superior, en Sonora, México. Se aplicó una encuesta a 147 jóvenes sobre situación familiar, historia escolar, motivos de deserción y planes futuros, entre otros. Los resultados muestran que 86% de las personas participantes abandonó la escuela entre el primer y tercer semestre, con un promedio de calificación, en el último semestre cursado, de 7.49. Las principales razones para dejar de estudiar fueron los factores económicos, haber reprobado materias y la falta de interés. De los participantes, 93% no estaba satisfecho con el nivel de estudios alcanzado, sin embargo, no tenía planeado retomar estas actividades. Los resultados muestran la necesidad de un modelo de intervención basado en políticas educativas con mayores incentivos para una adherencia al sistema escolar, flexibilización del tránsito entre subsistemas y reestructuración de las redes de comunicación entre los actores principales.

The results indicated that 86% of the surveyed students abandoned the school between the first and the third semester. Their grade average during the last semester studied was 7.49.
