Subsequently, the study turned to the analysis of the concept of evasion and its multiplicity of analysis indicators, with the research on the non permanence of students in the professional teaching network. The theoretical framework allowed us to construct categories of analysis that are important for the elaboration of the field research instrument, as well as for the collection of documentary material.
