Abstract
While technology´s meaning is stretched and compressed, its impact should still mean the improvement of systems due to the application of science. The events of education must be observed, described and experimentally investigated for their theoretical explanation. The Cox proportional hazards model with censored data to investigate and begin to theoretically explain graduation is an example of science applied to education
