Abstract

The decrease in female enrollment at the Higher Secondary Education level in Mexico is a problem that is influenced by different factors that intervene in the interpersonal relationships of women in every facet of their lives. This academic dropout has its origin in causes dependent on the student's gender. The objective of this article is to demonstrate that the speech received at home and at school establishes the gender difference, as well as to expose the influence that this has on school dropout. To achieve this, the method of critical discourse analysis was used, which made it possible to label, catalog and analyze the speeches of the speakers. From the results obtained, it can be concluded that the dropout students of this academic level dropped out of school especially during the first semesters of high school. Among the main reasons are economic, family and cultural factors.
