The education sector in Mexico faces significant challenges, such as the lack of sufficient teaching staff to meet the needs of over 36.3 million children in the country. Despite the large number of existing teachers, deficiencies in language teaching, physical education, artistic education, and other aspects are evident.
According to Mexicanos Primero, the priority should be to ensure that children in Mexico receive a quality education. Over the years, assessments like PISA and PLANEA have shown that the learning level of Mexican students is insufficient and requires urgent improvements.
The Right to Education is a fundamental issue, involving governments at all levels to ensure compliance. Although the Mexican Constitution has recognized this right for over a century, it is necessary to broaden its scope and ensure that all children have access to quality education.
On Children's Day in Mexico, the importance of this right is highlighted, emphasizing the state's obligation to provide adequate education to all citizens. With over 36.3 million children in the education system, it is essential to improve educational policies and use assessments as a tool to identify areas for improvement.
With 28.1% of the total population of the country consisting of children aged 0 to 17 years, there is a clear need to strengthen the National Educational System. Despite the existing challenges, the possibility of implementing assessments like PISA represents an opportunity to advance the improvement of educational quality in Mexico.
