RODRIGUEZ ROCHA, Eduardo. The role of school in educational decisions during the transition to high school public institutions in Mexico City context. Estud. sociol [online]. 2016, vol.34, n.102, pp.639-664. ISSN 2448-6442.
This article analyzes the role of schools in educational choices in the transition to public high schools in Mexico City. Secondary schools have the potential to influence educational choices, through the development of certain educational functions. This influence comes in different ways, and is relatively independent of adscriptive characteristics and previous academic performance of students. Schools serve i) as agents contributing to decision making, facilitating continuity on educational trajectories ii) or as instances that do not develop explicit actions aimed to link their students to any of the options offered in the post-secondary educational system. While some schools teaching resources are destined to accompany their students during their decision process, others lack of them, abandoning them in this crucial educational event. The article is based on data provided by an ethnographic study conducted in seven high schools in southern Mexico City between January and July 2012.
