Spanish term or phrase: rezago educativo

"México [...] presenta un importante rezago en la educación."

The below definition is from CONAFE (Consejo Nacional de Fomento Educativo): http://sftp.conafe.edu.mx/UPC/glosario.html#41

"Rezago Educativo: Grupo de personas mayores de 14 años que no han terminado la educación constitucionalmente obligatoria. Sectores de la sociedad que enfrentan condiciones de desventaja sobre recursos económicos, humanos y materiales. En este sentido, se ven reflejados en servicios educativos de menor calidad; altos índices de repetición y deserción escolar; falta de materiales educativos; infraestructura inadecuada; capacitación deficiente; ausentismo de maestros y supervisión insuficiente de directivos."

Possibly "educational lag": http://www-wds.worldbank.org/external/default/WDSContentServ...

"Dropout rate" has also occurred to me, although it only seems to cover part of the meaning.

Thanks in advance for your input!

educational (or cultural) backlag

Explanation:
The term rezago means more literally, what is left out, those who don't belong, and is used in a variety of contexts.

In the case above I found the use of 'backlag' in texts, in context.
