CONTRERAS-VILLALOBOS, Tabata  and  BALERIOLA, Enrique. Education for youth and adults: Making visible diverse educational trajectories. Revista de Psicología [online]. 2022, vol.40, n.1, pp.73-96. ISSN 0254-9247.  http://dx.doi.org/10.18800/psico.202201.003.

The challenges for quality education are complex given the high dropout rates. In Chile, this population is managed by the Youth and Adult Education modality, which there is not enough information on these educational trajectories. The aim of this quantitative research was to characterize these students, inquiring about how to tackle school dropout. The results show a mostly male population, under twenty-five years, with low attendance and low marks. From the MLR analysis, attendance, gender and level of education are the factors that most explain school performance, determining the continuity of the school trajectory. In order to provide new opportunities for lifelong learning, it is suggested to focus on intervention strategies with a systemic approach.

Keywords : education for young people and adults; educational trajectory; school dropout.
