The influence of family background on the access to Technical and Vocational Education

Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

ABSTRACT

This work investigates the influence of family background variables (father’s schooling, mother’s schooling, and family income) on the result of a student’s application to access a Brazilian institution of technical and vocational education. The research used secondary data carried out 19,226 observations, and formulated a conceptual model with three hypotheses. The results were presented in three stages: I - separation of campuses into clusters; II - analysis of multiple regressions; and, III - analysis of logistic regressions. One of the hypotheses was rejected and two were confirmed, indicating that there is a positive effect of the variables family income and father’s schooling, but no statistical significance for the variable mother’s schooling.
