Impacts of governmental and institutional policies - guaranteeing rights - on the formative trajectories of Tourism students of the FHyCS - UNaM

Abstract

In the analysis of the multicausalities that have an impact on the high levels of university drop-out rates in the Tourism courses at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, it is considered important to address the impact of national and institutional programmes and grant projects that seek to mitigate this situation. In this way, the set of scholarships provided by the institution has been analysed, based on a quantitative study of data collection by means of surveys to admissions of the cohorts 2017 and 2018, which determined which have been the most demanded scholarships. Finally, we have described a programme - PATFEs - its scope and limitations, as a policy designed to address the complex process of transition between secondary and higher education, which has not been formally recognised by the teaching staff of Tourism degree courses.
