GUZMAN GOMEZ, Carlota. Students in Televised Community High School: Conditions and Meanings of an Emerging Form of Education. RMIE [online]. 2021, vol.26, n.90, pp.717-742.  Epub Oct 11, 2021. ISSN 1405-6666.

In the context of broadening the coverage of high school in Mexico, this research has the objective of learning more about the students in televised community high school (TBC), in social and family terms, in addition to the ways they experience school and the meanings they attach to their studies. Using comprehensive sociology and semi-structured interviews, the study seeks to explore the respondents' perspectives of this emerging form of education. The findings are that TBC students value the possibility of attending school in their community, and that they learn to be students in a context of economic precarity, without a school building of their own. Although they have no referents for high school, both the youth and their families have expectations for a better life in the future.
