Abstract

Faced with a growing school-age population and a rising demand for education at all levels, the Mexican government has turned to new educa tional technologies, mainly radio and television, to supplement its traditional school system. The Telesecundaria is the largest and most important under taking of this kind in Mexico today. It uses television to provide a full, three-year secondary education to students who, for a wide variety of reasons, would not otherwise have access to schooling beyond the 6th grade.
