The transition of students to another cycle of education is always a situation that needs to be addressed.
It is from the beginning of the second cycle that the student presents greater diversity in his group of friends, helping him develop social skills and test different values, contributing to his self-concept.
The aim of this article is to analyze the main factors that make it difficult for students from the 2nd cycle of general secondary education to higher education in Angola.
The results showed that there are a few factors that influence and affect students' transition to higher education, such as time management, the relationship with teachers and the different environment.
