“…Some have extensive research behind them and therefore provide additional detail (Garnica et al, 2019). This is relevant to the problem tackled within this study, that of the school dropout rate of vulnerable, also known as at risk, students (Bernárdez-Gómez et al, 2021;Thureau, 2018;Vandekinderen et al, 2018) and how these students can then return to their studies (Cuconato et al, 2017;Tomaszewska-Pękała et al, 2017;Portela et al, 2022;Ribaya, 2011). This text presents some of the results of a wider research project where the factors that do or do not benefit school engagement of young dropouts and returnees are examined.…”

Student engagement within education has been an area of increasing interest over recent years as one of the factors that needs to be taken into consideration when addressing one of the main issues in education - school dropout. The objective of this paper is to provide oversight of how being engaged in the educational trajectories of young people who are at risk takes place. This will involve applying the theory of life course as the main driver of the research. A qualitative method is used which adopts a biographical and narrative approach via semi structured in-depth interviews. The main results have revealed that: 1) there are stages in which events that facilitate positive or negative engagement are more predominant; 2) generally, there are more negative critical events that result in a decline in the quality of student engagement; 3) there are several factors that stand out in each of the stages of the student trajectories.

“…Because they are backed by extensive research, some of them are transformed as they are studied in greater depth (Garnica et al, 2019). This is the case of the problem addressed in this text, namely the school dropout of vulnerable subjects or so-called at-risk students (Bernárdez-Gómez et al, 2021;Thureau, 2018;Vandekinderen et al, 2018) and how these students return to their studies (Cuconato et al, 2017;Portela Pruaño et al, 2022;Ribaya, 2011;Tomaszewska-Pękała et al, 2017). The following text presents some of the results of a broader research project which studied the factors that benefit, or not, the engagement in school of young dropouts and returnees.…”

Students’ engagement in the educational task has been a matter of growing interest over the past few years as a factor in tackling one of the leading academic problems, namely school dropout. This brief research report offers an overview of how engagement in the educational trajectories of young people at risk is manifested. It was studied by applying the life course theory as the backbone of the research. A qualitative methodology has been applied, using a biographical-narrative approach through semi-structured in-depth interviews. The total number of subjects interviewed was 10. The main results indicate that: a) there are stages in which events that facilitate positive or negative engagement predominate more strongly; b) in general, there is a higher presence of negative critical events that lead to a decline in the quality of the students' engagement; and c) there are a series of factors that stand out in each of the stages of the students' trajectories. One of the main conclusions that can be drawn is that the traineeships are dynamic and flexible. Students may have the possibility of returning to their studies.

“…Early school leaving is considered one of the serious problems faced by young people (Ripamonti et al, 2018) and finding solutions to address it has become a global concern (Portela-Pruaño et al, 2022). Thus, many countries have set out to address this problem through a wide range of policy measures (Global Education Monitoring Report Team, 2020) that have as their main objectives the prevention of this phenomenon, the implementation of immediate interventions when there are risks of dropping out of school, and measures for the educational reintegration of early school leavers.…”

“…The problem of adults who have not completed their compulsory education and early school leaving by young people are complex phenomena, determined by multidimensional personal, social and economic factors (Bademci et al, 2020). These problems are associated with significant economic and social disadvantages (Schmitsek, 2022), the educational reintegration of those affected being necessary (Portela-Pruaño et al, 2022).…”

“…In order to prevent future dropouts from education and training (Portela-Pruaño et al, 2022) attention is drawn to the motivational and identity aspects of young people at risk (Gueta and Berkovich, 2022) as well as to the existence of a complex interplay of educational, family and economic aspects that push and pull participants to return to education (Portela-Pruaño et al, 2022).…”

Getting young people and adults who have not completed compulsory education back into school is one of the current challenges facing most schools in disadvantaged areas. In this study, we aim to analyze the extent to which a complementary educational support program represents a viable solution to this major problem. To this end, marketing research was carried out based on the case study, which monitored the impact of the program on the 41 young and adult participants. Research results reveal a positive impact of the program with significant progress being recorded by the participants on all the variables analyzed.
