dc.description In this article, three topics are interrelated: school desertion, poverty and migration. The situation in Mexico with respect to desertion and the relationship between this and several factors associated with poverty is presented. It is argued that scholastic desertion has an expanding effect which depends on the concurrence of two factors: disenchantment with schools and the "habitus" people adopt in cases of extreme poverty to assure their survival. In regard to the first of these factors, the normal course of schooling (the methods and the programs that are preferred in school) is critically analyzed and other indications that scholastic education is changing are examined. In regard to the second of these factors, the case of migrant Mexicans who go to the United States is examined. The results of a survey in Mexican junior high schools are reported and exploratory interviews were conducted with migrating Mexicans. The conclusions of other research carried out in Mexico dealing with scholastic desertion are also reconsidered. En este artículo se vinculan tres temáticas: rezago, pobreza y migración. En primer término, se expone la situación de México con respecto al rezago y la relación entre éste y los diversos factores asociados a la pobreza. En segundo término, se exponen razones para sostener -con carácter hipotético- que el rezago escolar tiene un efecto amplificante que obedece a la concurrencia de dos factores: el desencanto respecto de la escuela y el habitus que forjan los sujetos en situación de pobreza para asegurar su supervivencia. En relación con el primero de esos factores, se analiza críticamente la normalidad escolar —es decir, las formas de trabajo y los contenidos que se favorecen en la escuela- y se examinan algunos otros indicios de que la valoración en relación con la educación escolar está variando. En relación con el segundo de esos factores, se examina el caso de los migrantes mexicanos que van a Estados Unidos. Para apoyar el supuesto, se recuperaron algunos resultados de una investigación realizada en escuelas secundarias de México y se aplicaron entrevistas con carácter exploratorio a migrantes mexicanos. También se retomaron las conclusiones de otras investigaciones realizadas en México en torno al rezago escolar.
