Abstract

DUCOING WATTY, Patricia. Mexican Secondary Education: Between the Search for Equitable Access and Educational Lag. Educación [online]. 2018, vol.42, n.2, pp.465-494. ISSN 2215-2644.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/revedu.v42i2.27665.

This work represents an approach to the situation of Mexican secondary education, which has in recent decades, been experiencing a tension between expanding coverage for all adolescents in age of studying, and the educational gap, characterized by several indicators such as dropout, failure, grade repetition, overage among others. Regarding poverty and inequality, the Mexican government must deal with the challenge of continuing to expand coverage in order to ensure equitable access to the level and improving quality through educational and social policies that can determine substantial advances in this direction.

Keywords : educational gap; educational equity; secondary education in Mexico; basic education.
