Sumario:This paper presents a summary of the experience in implementing the distance senior high school education in Mexico and effects on equity for the populations whose geographic, demographic and social features marginalize them from conventional educational provision. The study is based on national education policies that prioritize the equity at educational services with quality and relevance by setting strategies related with the educational use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) to deliver these services to populations whose conditions and characteristics do not justify the creation of conventional educational services. The study assesses some results from this experience such as the extension of coverage, service efficiency and the students' performance. The results of this analysis suggest that these students' efficiency and performance is not significant different from traditional students.
