The present investigation was carried out at the Higher Technological Institute of Azuay (Tec Azuay), with the purpose of determining the endogenous and exogenous factors that affect the school repetition of students and, in this way, demonstrate the reality faced by technical institutes. and technological public regarding the subject. For the collection of information, secondary sources were used through the bibliographic review; and primary through a qualitative methodology with a participatory approach, through interviews, focus groups and feedback workshops. The results determined some factors such as: family pressure, class improvisation, different levels of knowledge, state quota allocation policies, among others.
