### Over 100 Students Drop Out from Cobach in Tijuana
In recent developments from the Colegio de Bachilleres (Cobach) in Tijuana, more than one hundred first-semester high school students have abandoned their studies. The institution, led by Director Sugey Mendívil, noted a significant drop in student retention rates due to a lack of motivation.
Sugey Mendívil, who oversees the Rubén Vizcaíno Valencia campus located along the Vía Rápida, explained that around one hundred students dropped out during the initial year of the last school cycle. This dropout rate is split between the morning and afternoon shifts. Mendívil emphasized that the academic dropout phenomenon is often a reflection of personal situations that students are experiencing at home. In response, the school is working closely with parents to find solutions and prevent students from abandoning their education.
For the academic year 2024-2025, the demand for enrollment in high school levels has surpassed initial expectations. “We noticed increased dropout rates during the first semester last year, losing 119 students out of a total enrollment of 900 across 18 groups,” Mendívil clarified. The administration stresses the importance of addressing the underlying personal issues contributing to these dropout rates and is committed to enhanced cooperation with families to keep students engaged in their educational pursuits.
