The COVID-19 pandemic had a great impact on the educational system, thus causing a loss of learning and a delay in knowledge in students, which led many to abandon their studies. The objective of the research was to analyze school dropout in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic in the students of Basic Superior of the Unidad Educativa Bachillero del Cantón Tosagua in the year 2021. The qualitative-quantitative approach was used since it analyzed, measured, and quantified data to present the information through statistical tables, 34 dropout students from the institution were considered, for which the data collection instrument was used; the survey addressed to parents and guardians of the courses where the dropout students were. The method used was the bibliographic, and analytical-synthetic, allowed to deepen the study, which was based on material found in books, magazines, blogs and web pages, which contained information related to the topic raised. The results showed that the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative influence on the educational system, since it led to less learning and an increase in school dropouts.
