"EDUCATION SYSTEM IN MEXICO"

Anmerkungen:

• "Mexican public education is secular, free and accessible to all, as guaranteed in the constitution enacted in 1917, but its results are poor, according to statistics".
• "This is the moment Mexico could take off and catch up with more developed countries," says David Calderón, director of Mexicanos Primero, an education advocacy group. "What's holding it back is education."
• "Government oversight of the union-run system is so lax, the film says, that the Public Education Secretariat could not say how many teachers Mexico has".
• "There's been cowardice on the part of the Mexican government because it's ceded the domain of education to the union",
