This article presents the results of research conducted at Macaé Campus of Instituto Federal Fluminense (Rio de Janeiro State/Brazil). The information was collected from students who did not finish their technical education at the institution. From references that put social and educational inequalities into question, which consider these problems as interrelated processes, a survey questionnaire was elaborated and sent to students who were dropping out, transferring, suspending, or canceling their enrollment, to get to know their reality and the cause(s) of their early exit from the course. The description and analysis of the main reasons mentioned by them for dropping out are the primary focus of this text.
