Abstract

Abstract Six Objectives of development of the Millennium focused on childhood were stablished on 2000 with the aid of the 189 countries that form the United Nations, due to the situation presented by children from all around the world. One of the objectives strives to assure that by 2015 all children will complete their primary education. A series of individual and structural factors keep children from staying in school. According to several studies, external factors, such as poverty and gender end up being the key reasons that keep children away from school. This paper has the objective of showing the result of an exploratory study realized from a mixed focus over the perception that directives, professors, and citizens from Polígono San Bernabé (Monterrey), regarding the factors that promote educational lay back within basic education. The main strategies used by institutions to avoid this issue will also be presented.
