La educación es un derecho humano fundamental, que incrementa las capacidades y libertades individuales y sociales. Su ejercicio está consagrado en normativas globales y nacionales que proveen el marco para implementar planes, políticas y proyectos que mejoren su cobertura y calidad propendiendo a la inclusión de grupos vulnerables.

En 2015, el Gobierno ecuatoriano otorgó por vez primera becas para estudios superiores a los presos mejor puntuados en el Examen Nacional de Educación Superior (ENES). Ellos asisten a clases dentro de prisión y, si adquieren su libertad, pueden acudir a la universidad asignada, con los costos directos cubiertos por el Estado.

Abstract Education is a fundamental human right that increases individual and social abilities and freedoms. Its exercise is consecrated in global and national regulations that provide the framework to implement plans, policies and projects to improve their coverage and quality, propending the inclusion of vulnerable groups. Among them is the penitentiary population, for which these regulations must also contribute positively in the process of social rehabilitation. In 2015, the Ecuadorian government awarded, for the first time, scholarships for higher education to the best-rated prisoners in the National Higher Education Exam (ENES, for its acronym in Spanish). They attend classes in prison and, if they acquire their freedom, they can go to the assigned university with the direct costs covered by the State. Much of the success of this initiative depends on student retention-persistence, which makes relevant the analysis of desertion causes that can be studied from different approaches. Among them, the economic, raised in this article, which identifies the benefits and costs received by scholars of a prison in Guayaquil, from a qualitative perspective. The findings of the investigation show that, when released, the scholarship holders experience a decrease in benefits and an increase in costs, which negatively affects the decision of student permanence. A educação é um direito humano fundamental que aumenta as capacidades e liberdades individuais e sociais. Seu exercício é consagrado na regulação global e nacional que fornece o marco para implementar planos, políticas e projetos para melhorar sua cobertura e qualidade, propiciando a inclusão de grupos vulneráveis. Entre eles, a população penitenciária, para a qual eles também devem contribuir positivamente no processo de reabilitação social. Em 2015, o governo equatoriano concedeu, pela primeira vez, bolsas de estudos para o ensino superior aos presos melhor classificados no Exame Nacional de Ensino Superior (ENES). Eles freqüentam aulas na prisão e, se adquirirem sua liberdade, podem ir à universidade designada com os custos diretos cobertos pelo Estado. Grande parte do sucesso dessa iniciativa depende da persistência da retenção do aluno, tornando relevante a análise das causas da deserção. Pode ser abordado a partir de diferentes abordagens, dentre elas, a econômica que foi levantada neste trabalho, a partir de uma perspectiva qualitativa. Neste estudo, observa-se que os beneficiários de uma prisão em Guayaquil, ao serem liberados, percebem que os benefícios da bolsa diminuem e os custos aumentam, afetando negativamente sua decisão de permanência.
