Only 47% of students who enter vocational high schools graduate, according to Mexico's National Institute of Statistics, Geography and Information Processing. In college-prep high schools, the graduation rate is 60%.
In the United States, 75% of all high school students graduate.
In December, the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development published the results of the PISA, a test it gives every three years in schools around the world. Among the 30 countries that participated, Mexico came in last place in science, math and reading.
To free up working children to attend school, the Calderón administration has promised to increase the number of grants to students' families from 4.8 million a year to 5.7 million by 2012. It has also promised to install distance-learning equipment in every classroom and introduce full days at 5,000 schools.
The government's plan would also tighten requirements for teachers, introduce new ways to monitor their performance and mandate training for teachers in schools with poor scores on standardized tests.
