SUMMARY:

Brazilian higher education officially emerged in the 19th century, aimed at elites to meet state demands for manpower training. In the 20th century, higher education began to become popular in the country, but with difficult access. The scenario began to change at the beginning of the 21st century, with government initiatives that resulted in the Support Program for Restructuring and Expansion Plans of Federal Universities (REUNI). In addition to this, another initiative that impacted the expansion of the federal public network is the creation of the Federal Institutes of Education, Science and Technology, in 2008. Despite the expansion, the enlargement of access, research reveals high dropout rates, that is, the permanence of academics has faced challenges, even with the elaboration of public policies and mechanisms to combat dropout. And the Instituto Federal Catarinense is no exception to this reality. Based on the foregoing, this work aims to Analyze the effectiveness of institutional initiatives and national policies practiced in terms of dropping out of higher education at the Instituto Federal Catarinense. For this purpose, the National Student Assistance Program (PNAES) and the Project Study on School Dropout in the IFC were chosen for the analysis of effectiveness. The research was carried out in a quali-quantitative way, using a documental data collection technique and adopting content analysis in the data analysis. The quantitative sources were the IFC's internal censuses from 2013 to 2019, with data on dropout from Bachelor's (Agronomy, Computer Science, Veterinary Medicine and Information Systems), Bachelor's Degree (Physics, Mathematics and Pedagogy) and Technology (Computer network). The exposition and analysis of the data took place in the light of the historical context, of public education policies and with the contribution of works on dropout located in a survey of the State of Knowledge. In addition, it was found that: the higher education course in Technology analyzed has the highest dropout rates, ranging from 7.94 to 20.5%; in second place are the Licentiate courses, between 12.78 and 16.07%; and Bachelor's courses have the lowest rates, between 9.77 and 11.54%. Among the main probable causes of dropouts: the difficulty of reconciling work and studies, the difficulty of entering the job market and the devaluation of the teaching profession. On the other hand, Bachelor's courses have lower rates due to the fact that they are predominantly daytime and full-time, that is, they have an audience that is exclusively dedicated to studies. From the analyses, it was possible to verify that public policies and institutional initiatives to combat dropout have been effective only partially because dropout levels have been maintained, that is, dropouts have not reduced, but neither have they increased, having remained between 11.75 and 13.34% in the last five years of the analyzed period . As IFC is a federal education institution, its institutional initiatives are governed by public educational policies at the national level, but with the possibility of flexibility to adapt to the immediate reality of the institution and its academics. For more effective initiatives, not only consultation with academics and the community is necessary, but also constant monitoring of the students' formative path. A more preventive, than more effective work, may the institution take initiatives that can generate more positive results in reducing dropout rates.
