The results obtained from the research confirm the hypothesis that school dropout is one of the expressions of the social issue, thus, it becomes a challenge to the professional work of the Social Worker inserted in education in view of the fact that there are several factors that can occasion it. Furthermore, the factors that contribute to school dropout were identified, which are internal and external factors of educational institutions that are directly related to the inequalities of capitalist society.
