Abstract
My research examined the motives behind school dropouts occurring between primary and secondary schools in Guanajuato, Mexico. It involved both preliminary quantitative analysis as well as field research that was both qualitative and quantitative in nature. I am currently in the process of evaluating the data collected in Mexico from April to July of 2012 to provide a local non-governmental organization (NGO) with solutions to help reduce this rural educational gap. I report the status of my findings to the NGO on a regular basis and will submit a final report within the next two months.
