AULI, Iván y IBARROLA, María De. Vocational Training for Work in an Integral Community High School in Oaxaca. Analysis from its Graduates. Rev. latinoam. estud. educ. [online]. 2022, vol.52, n.2, pp.53-92. Epub 02-Mayo-2022. ISSN 2448-878X. https://doi.org/10.48102/rlee.2022.52.2.491.
This paper presents partial advances in the subject matter of vocational training of an investigation in progress; the objective is to analyze the importance of high school education in the life of a group of graduates in a community high school in Oaxaca. Based on a qualitative methodology with an ethnographic approach, we analyzed interviews with graduates and field research notes. The graduates’ points of view are organized in two aspects: those who stay in their community and those who migrate to the city. For the first, high school has allowed them to develop a better agricultural job. Some are intermediaries of government programs, and they carry out activities with the local government; others start or work in a local business. Their economic status forces them to enroll in more than one job at a time. Those who migrate to the city mention that high school helps them perform a less physically demanding job. However, graduates decide to work in cleaning or building activities, because they can earn a better income. The conclusions discuss the results to reflect on vocational training offered to rural populations through the formal education system.
