In 2022, it was reported that 17.7 percent of the Mexican population lagged behind in education and was therefore considered socially vulnerable. Among the country's indigenous population, the rate of social vulnerability for lagging behind in education rose up to 35.3 percent. The figures have been increasing since 2016 and the ethnicity gap amounts to double of the non-indigenous population educational social vulnerability rate.
