“The Mexican government is committed to strengthening the rule of law, promoting sustainable economic development, and building a country where justice and well-being for all are equal throughout the country by recognizing and working to reduce existing inequality gaps. Coordinated progress in each of the three proposed directions will impact efforts in other areas, creating a virtuous circle of progress that will cement Mexico over the next 20 years as a more egalitarian country where people and the full enjoyment of their human rights will be at the center of public policy. “The National Institute for the Evaluation of Education (INEE) was founded on the 8th. It was established in August 2002 by presidential decree as a decentralized public institution of a technical nature to support the evaluation function of the national education system, for which it has provided to federal and local education authorities and Mexican society. Information and knowledge to support decision-making that contribute to improving the quality of education. Prior to the establishment of INEE, various education evaluations had already been conducted by the Department of Public Education (SEP) and some states. Although these efforts recognize the merit of their development, they have been carried out for specific and isolated purposes and, despite the data they have provided, they have not provided comprehensive and reliable information on the quality of education in the national education system. The main operational weaknesses were the lack of specialized staff, the lack of dissemination of results and the lack of evaluation planning. The Constitution states that the State is responsible for national development to ensure that it is holistic and sustainable, strengthens national sovereignty and democracy, and improves social justice and the well-being of Mexican families by promoting economic growth and employment. This goal will open up business opportunities, defend interests and promote Mexican culture internationally. The focus is on issues of global presence, regional integration and free trade.
The document submitted to the legislator consists of the draft National Development Plan 2019-2024 and a number of annexes; which, in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution and the laws within the framework of the National System of Democratic Planning, includes the aspirations and demands of society arising from the exercise of participation and popular consultation carried out by all dependencies and institutions of the federal public administration, as well as the criteria for formulation, Monitoring, Monitoring and evaluation of the development plan and programmes, as well as twenty-year forecasts and considerations. Subsequently, in 1930, the Town Planning Law of the Republic was promulgated, with the aim of coordinating and channeling the activities of the various government agencies in order to achieve “orderly and harmonious” development. In this context, as part of the obligations provided for by the Urban Planning Act, on 30 April, for the first time in history, the President of the Republic submitted his proposal for a national development plan to the Chamber of Deputies for examination and approval. Mexico`s education system must be strengthened to meet the needs of a globalized world. The results of standardized performance tests show progress, but they are not enough. The lack of education is an obstacle to the productive development of the country, as it limits the ability of the population to communicate effectively, work in teams, solve problems, effectively use information technology to introduce superior processes and technologies, as well as understand the environment in which we can live and innovate. Unlike other generations, young people have access to a wealth of information. However, they sometimes lack the tools or skills to deal with it effectively and extract what is useful or important. Our young people need a clear path to a productive life. Today`s Mexicans must respond to a new paradigm in which job opportunities are not only sought but sometimes invented.
The dynamics of technological progress and globalization require young people who are able to innovate. 1. Diagnosis: It is important to use our intellectual abilities. Education The national education system currently serves 35.2 million children and young people in the school system. Basic education is at the base of the educational pyramid, which accounts for 73.4 per cent of enrolment in the education system, which has 25.9 million students at the following levels: 4.8 million attended pre-school education, 14.8 million attended primary school and 6.3 million secondary education. About 1.2 million teachers in nearly 228,000 schools work at these levels of education. The development of basic education and the gradual decline of the school-age population have led to a high level of coverage. However, the ultimate effectiveness of basic education is low: out of 100 children entering primary school, only 76 complete secondary education on time.
This situation has limited the possibility of extending the coverage of upper secondary education (66.3 per cent), which is also required by law. In upper secondary education, 4.4 million young people are served, of whom 91.3 per cent correspond to the baccalaureate and 8.7 per cent to technical vocational training, which includes the schools of the National Higher School of Technical and Vocational Education (CONALEP). Out of every 100 high school graduates, 85.9 enrol in university. College enrollment is 3.3 million students, representing a coverage of 29.2%. Progress can be made in registration as the absorption rate (proportion of pupils entering tertiary education in relation to the total number of pupils who have completed the last year of the previous level of education) is increased and drop-out rates in upper secondary education are reduced. It points out that of the total number of students entering secondary school in 2010, 49% were men and 51% were women. In contrast, of the total number of students who graduated from high school in the same year, 46.3% were boys and 53.7% were girls. In order to improve the quality of education, it is necessary to move towards a system of professionalisation of the teaching career that stimulates the academic performance of teachers and strengthens the processes of training and updating. Improved outcomes will enable parents in families and society to confirm and strengthen confidence in the crucial role of teachers.
One way to achieve this is to strengthen the initial training and selection processes for teachers. The need for better-trained teachers, school leaders and supervisors is the most important way to improve the quality of basic education, according to 60% of respondents to the citizen survey. The creation of genuine learning environments adapted to the use of continuous processes of educational innovation requires dignified educational spaces with access to new information and communication technologies. Better education requires strengthening infrastructure, basic services and school equipment. On the other hand, there has been an increased awareness of situations of group, institutional and contextual violence in schools (a phenomenon also known as bullying) that influence coexistence processes and teaching-learning processes. In response to society`s growing concern for a safe and healthy environment in schools across the country, there is a need to strengthen cooperation between schools, school communities and society to limit violence through comprehensive measures, mainly as part of a preventive approach. In addition, the low-income population may be less likely to have access to quality education and to successfully complete their education. As there are still gaps in the implementation of equity and quality policies, there is an urgent need to reduce gaps in access to education, culture and knowledge through a broad inclusion perspective that eliminates all forms of discrimination based on body, society, ethnicity, gender, beliefs or sexual orientation. Linking education to social and economic needs A high proportion of young people feel that education does not provide them with the skills, competences and abilities necessary for successful integration and job performance. In line with this concern, 18% of respondents to the citizens` survey indicated the need to strengthen technological careers and link them to the productive sector in order to achieve relevant universal coverage in upper secondary and upper secondary education.
Therefore, it is necessary to renew the education system in order to formulate new options and modalities that use new information and communication technologies, with open and distance learning modalities. At the same time, it is important to promote technical and professional careers that allow immediate integration into the world of work, promotion of specialization and on-the-job training.
