A girl from the "Insurgentes de la Paz" (Peace Insurgents) school hangs up her school bag near an old bus turned into her classroom in the settlement of Pueblo Nuevo, Oaxaca September 1, 2009. The children receive classes in an old bus donated to the neighbourhood by a truck company after the other classrooms became too small for the 83 children at the school. Mexico, ridden with organized crime and drug gang violence, ranks poorly in education standards, which is holding back the country's economic growth and development according to analysts.
