“Atenea Children’s Stay” Project Overcoming Barriers and Finding Strength

Abstract: This project proposes the creation of a children’s stay within the Facultad de Filosofía y Letras of the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León, with a view to it being a larger project that serves all the faculties and high schools of the university, to reduce in this way the statistics of desertion of mothers and fathers students. It is considered that the project would not only bring benefits in reducing the institution’s dropout statistics but would also prevent student mothers and fathers from seeing their right to continue their studies truncated. In addition, the project could be a space where professional and/or social service practices can be developed by university students.

Key words: university dropout, student mothers, children’s stay, social responsibility
