The article looks at high school graduation rates in Latin America from 1990 to 2010. Enrollment and graduation rates went up, while dropout rates went down. This happened because countries improved access to education by giving more resources and making policies to help students stay in school. But even with these improvements, graduation rates are still low, and there are big differences in outcomes based on gender, income, and where people live. The quality of education is also not great.
