Student socioeconomic segregation is one of the main sources of educational inequity in Argentina. The objective of this paper is to study the explanatory factors of school attendance in privately managed institutions at the secondary level. Furthermore, given the differences in the participation of the private sector by provinces, we particularly aim to compare these determinants to identify possible discrepancies related to geographic location. Some evidence was found that, beyond purchasing power, various social, economic, and cultural characteristics of households are associated with the type of school attended. Moreover, it can be observed that these relationships are not totally homogeneous between the provinces. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article compares the school performance of low-income students who attend schools where they represent small minorities with the average performance of students from the same social sector. To do this, it uses data from the Argentine chapter of the PISA 2018 bases. Based on them, it analyzes the performance of students by economic, social and cultural level, first comparing all students and then only those who attend schools where low-income students are small minorities. The results show that this group of students achieves higher than average performances. Although the study does not reach definitive conclusions, it suggests that the cultural and educational resources available to these students, plus the social composition and institutional characteristics of the schools they attend, could explain the higher levels of achievement.

This paper presents the analysis of the equity of public actions directed at multigrade schools in Mexico to guarantee the right to education of rural children. Besides, it delves into the changes and continuities in educational policy based on the reforms to article 3 of the Constitution and the General Education Law in 2019. The evidence presented is based on an analysis of equity and rights of the main components of the basic education policy. It concludes that there is a violation of the right to education of children and adolescents living in isolated rural locations. The aforementioned, because the multigrade education policy is inequitable and hardly relevant. Besides, there is an incipient orientation of public resources to these schools, which will not necessarily modify the conditions for the exercise of the right to education. Finally, it observes that there is a continuity of the educational policy, that is, the reproduction of inequalities from educational actions that do not guarantee access, permanence, and significant results for all rural children and adolescents.

Equity in education refers to the ability to consider the unequal situation of students and their families, communities, and schools and offer special support to those who require it so that the largest number of students achieve educational objectives. One of the main drivers of educational equity is teachers, so it is essential to strengthening their training, allowing them to understand students' diversity and, if necessary, their families. This research aims to describe the meanings and practices of Normalist teachers on equity in teacher training. The theoretical foundation is based on the conceptualization of equity in Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics and linked to a necessary exercise in current education. It is a qualitative study that, from action research, collects the thoughts of a group of eleven full-time teachers, members of academic bodies of a Normal school in the State of Puebla, Mexico. From a semi-structured interview, data show us that most teachers know the meaning and take on behaviors to promote equity in the classroom. However, concrete actions are required in collegiate for a regular practice, which favors teachers' integral development in training. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This collective case study with "typical cases" and theoretical sampling has the objective to characterize the aspirations of recently graduated students from a specific community high-school in Morelos, Mexico. From semi-structured interviews, results provide a valuation of this service through their graduates' eyes, identifying obstacles and supports related to their ability to strive, and distinguishing between those who continued their upper-level studies and those who did not. Findings reveal the former show more capability to strive. To contribute from research to the improvement of their conditions and future perspectives, conclusions suggest how to strengthen these spaces where upper-secondary education should be available to people in vulnerable situations, empowering them and amplifying their chances with a better sense of equity, less injustice, and more dignity.

I analyze a national policy implemented in Argentina between 2007 and 2016 in the National Directorate of Socio-Educational Inclusion of the Ministry of Education of the Nation: the National Program of Educational Extension-Centers of Youth Activities (PNEE-CAJ). I make a characterization in relation to its background, its formulation and implementation and what remains after its recent disarticulation. I inquire into that evolution: the implementation of instruments, procedures, devices, non-explicit rules, values and interventions. I perform the interpretation based on interviews, participant observation and document analysis. I highlight the identification of continuities and transformations between the program and the device that I recognize as a direct antecedent. I also highlight the presence of different perspectives of inclusion involved in both. Finally, I recover as relevant for the imprint that the program took its formulation within that Directorate.

Research on the education received by children and adolescents from Migrant Rural Working Families has focused on the school population, despite the fact that eight out of ten do not attend school. For this reason, very little is known about the condition of educational lagging of migrants in entities where there are no schools for this population, such as the State of Mexico, where the present investigation was conducted. The study sought to identify the main factors that made possible or impeded the access and permanence of migrants to the Mexican educational system. Through semi-structured interviews, life stories were recovered to recognize the migratory, work and school itineraries of Migrant Agricultural Workers, Children and Adolescents. Among the findings, common patterns were identified on five groups that share different school itineraries: 1) those who did not access the educational system, 2) those who completed some primary education but did not complete it, 3) those who completed primary school, 4) those who entered secondary education, but did not finish and 5) a very small group that managed to complete basic education. These itineraries were related to migration and employment, to understand the way in which these aspects affect each other. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Migrant children constitute the social group with the greatest problems of educational exclusion in Mexico. Although the number of migrants attending school has increased, coverage remains low and the education they receive has many shortcomings. Hence, it is possible that the few migrants who have access to the educational system, in turn, learn little. However, there is no research on the academic achievement of migrant students that allow to know if the difficult conditions in which they study translate into low learning levels. This study seeks to fill this gap by analyzing the information available in databases of Mexican educational institutions. In these, the schools that serve the migrant population were identified, in order to obtain data on their students' levels of academic achievement. The information allows us to conclude that these students present levels of academic achievement significantly lower than those who attend other types of schools, so even those who remain in the educational system until the completion of basic education, do not get to exercise, their right to receive quality education.

This document analyzes the definition of educational quality, the inequality in education and how it has been studied and reported in educational evaluation reports. In this regard, it is discussed how most of the reports focus their analysis on the central tendency of indicators and indices. Thus, in the case of school performance, the study of standardized tests provides information on the effectiveness of educational systems. In light of the above and, based on the PISA 2015 Mathematics and Readings tests (OECD, 2018a), an analysis of the results is carried out, focusing the analysis on Latin American countries and on the discussion on the dispersion and distribution form of the scores. Based on these analyzes, it is proposed to calculate the variation coefficient and the skewness coefficient as alternatives that complement the information of educational systems from an equity perspective. Finally, the results show that most of the Latin American countries, in addition to having scores below the average of the countries evaluated, are heterogeneous and have highly negative skewness. In this sense, it would be important to discuss who are the students who, in countries with this type of average performance, obtain atypically low scores. Thus, in Latin America, it would be especially important to rethink and reflect about theories of justice and the right to education from a compensatory point of view (Latapí, 1993) that would generate resilient institutions (Muñoz, 2009).

Based on the outcomes of a mathematics updating mechanisms, this research seeks to contribute to the public discussion about equity, inclusion and free higher education. Also, it aims to show that updating mechanisms that offer more and better quality time to learn, contributes positively to equity and inclusion. From this, it argues that state funding for free higher education should be longer for those students who need updating their knowledge and skills, in order to complete successfully their transition from high school to university. The research used a mixed method approach. The qualitative and quantitative data have are used equally. Research results confirm the assumption that students that require mathematics updating belong to lower income groups and that updating improves their academic performance. The students' perceptions also confirm the positive effects of updating in terms of inclusion and development of learning potential of those students. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Educational equity is one of the main problems in Mexico, with a major impact on the rural population. Throughout the first half of the twentieth century, the main obstacle faced by rural children was lack of access to schools. The expansion of basic education coverage in the second half of the twentieth century helped to reduce the gap between rural and urban areas in access to education. The main educational equity issues facing the rural population in the twenty-first century include lower retention rates for children attending rural schools, meaning that fewer of these students complete basic education, and the fact that inequality is expressed in lower levels of educational achievement among rural students. Education research over the past two decades has helped to elucidate the main factors behind why rural children have lower retention rates and display lower achievement, which prevent them from fully exercising their right to quality education. This paper organizes these results, aiming to identify alternatives to improve educational equity in rural areas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article analyzes the institutional policies of four universities in Greater Buenos Aires, Argentina, that have favored greater equity in the enrollment and attendance of students from lower social strata. As observed throughout the Argentine university system, free tuition and relatively unrestricted acceptance do not ensure equity, and students from the population's lower socioeconomic strata are not numerous. The case under study involves universities in Greater Buenos Aires, a region characterized by its concentration of a high percentage of the population with high rates of unsatisfied basic needs. The article analyzes the perspectives of the teachers and coordinators of new student orientation and the first year of some majors, in terms of the implementation of institutional policies in the four universities and the possible causes of remaining inequity.

Equality and fairness have become core values of the Right to Education in modern societies, being progressively extended from basic to Higher Education. With the development of democratic societies we are needed more efforts for ensuring of quality of education from these values. In-deep studies are made into the concept of equal opportunity have claimed the importance to the concept of quality and, in the context of fairer educational institutions, to the educational equity, understood as something that goes beyond equal opportunities. The concern regarding education quality assurance in education has been remarkable since the Bologna process was introduced. The aim of establishing a European Higher Education Area, in which both students and professionals could freely carry out their academic achievement, makes quality (SGIC) as a key issue. It has meant that, beyond the establishment of specific Quality Assurance Systems to each university, it is currently worked to extend it to a Culture of Quality. The SGIC is a tool for promoting educational equity at University. Underlying it, the internal SGIC of the School of Education at University of Castilla-La Mancha (Spain) is reviewed. Mainly, there are four areas in which SGIC contributes to equity, namely: achievement, student participation, organizational culture, and teacher training. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents a summary of the experience in implementing the distance senior high school education in Mexico and effects on equity for the populations whose geographic, demographic and social features marginalize them from conventional educational provision. The study is based on national education policies that prioritize the equity at educational services with quality and relevance by setting strategies related with the educational use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) to deliver these services to populations whose conditions and characteristics do not justify the creation of conventional educational services. The study assesses some results from this experience such as the extension of coverage, service efficiency and the students' performance. The results of this analysis suggest that these students' efficiency and performance is not significant different from traditional students. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
