| Sumari: | This study aims to analyze the educational trajectories of overage youth in the context of secondary education in three district educational institutions in Bogotá. The methodology used includes a relational analysis based on various sources of information. This analytical approach seeks to understand social phenomena not as separate entities or through a list of subject characteristics, but as the result of objective and subjective relationships between the positions of agents within the analyzed social field. Thus, a subject, an object, a practice, or a discourse can only be fully understood in relation to the position it occupies within the structure and in connection with other positions that constitute it. When exploring the educational trajectories of these youngsters, certain factors were identified which influence their retention and success in school, such as economic hardship, low cultural capital, grade repetition, and changes of residence. Other barriers include lack of family support, work, stigmatization, and the lack of an educational offering that addresses their specific needs. The results suggest the need for government agencies and educational institutions to implement pedagogical support, vocational guidance, and curricular flexibility programs to improve the inclusion and academic success of these students. The barriers and opportunities that impact the academic success of overage youth highlight the need to develop effective strategies to bridge the gap between their theoretical and actual educational trajectories. |
