ABSTRACT
The Program of Cocinas
Comunitarias in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico benefits children aged 6 to 12 who
attend primary education schools in low-income municipalities. It is hoped that
this food assistance program will allow children to learn better and develop
learning skills. In this way, a significant reduction in the grade failure
rates and dropout rates is expected, which will be reflected in a higher
graduation efficiency rates. In fact, the contribution of this work consists of
a methodology for the analysis of the impact of the food subsidy on the
academic performance of low-income primary education students. In this sense, a
multivariate model was constructed to analyze the interrelationships between
grade failure, dropout, graduation efficiency rates, food subsidy, and the
socio-demographic characteristics of the population that attends primary
education. The Mexican government expects from this program that the more
low-income children complete primary education, the more likely that a higher
number of adolescents will complete high school education. This scheme is very
important for the country’s half population living in poverty and especially in
Oaxaca State which is one of poorest states.
