HERNANDEZ FERNANDEZ, Jimena. Admission to the 2020-2021 School Year in Higher Secondary Education: Analysis of the Response to the Covid-19 Emergency. Rev. latinoam. estud. educ.

The article explores the admission to upper secondary school (UPS) in Mexico during the health emergency of Covid-19 (academic year 2020-2021). In particular, it studies whether the UPS admission model was modified in response to the health emergency; as well as which were the strategies implemented to support the EMS transition at the State level. The research was carried out with a qualitative documentary analysis of the admission to UPS in the 32 States in Mexico. The results indicate that five States modified the general admission model in response to the emergency. Additionally, the results show that the most used strategies were rescheduling and/or postponing admission exams and using support computer platforms (ten entities respectively). Among the least used strategies are the cancellation of admission fees (one entity) and the cancellation of selection exams (one entity).

Keywords : educational admission; access to education; upper secondary education; epidemics.
