Abstract

Violence interferes with students’ ability to learn and decreases their school performance. The objective is to identify the relationship between violence and basic learning in reading and arithmetic. In the Mexican states of Quintana Roo, Yucatan and Campeche, data from 3438 children and adolescents between 7 and 17 years of age were analyzed. The Independent Measurement of Learning (MIA) instrument for reading and mathematics and a violence questionnaire were used. The results show that children and adolescents who report violence have a greater delay in basic learning. These results reveal some of the implications of violence on the full exercise of the right to education of the children and adolescents involved.
