Abstract

Italian university system presents a widespread inefficiency in the management of training processes which has – among others - a significant impact on the ratio between enrolled and graduated students. Dropout is an important issue which could be considered as an indicator of criticality of the training system. Using data from MIUR “Anagrafe Nazionale Studenti” from MIUR (ANS), the present work aims to measure the levels of dropout in Italy among a cohort of students (2011-2012) enrolled in a bachelor course (Level I) and followed for a period of 5 years. The analysis is carried out by means of Logistic 2-levels Model, to investigate the possible the determinants of the probability of student dropout, together with the role played by student mobility.
