Going back to school is a transition that forms part of the study background of part of the Mexican population. It can be a turning point in people's lives and a strategy for socio-economic advancement. Factors positively associated with this return include: being young, having previous schooling up to junior high school or over, not being married, having lived in urban areas, having previous migratory experience, having professional parents engaged in non-manual activities and belonging to younger cohorts. There are certain differences in return trends by gender that can be explained by the influence of traditional roles.

Keywords : study background; transitions; re-entry into education.
