Cute Day Counter For Relationships

Why oppose the RIEMSER? (3)

Here are some figures in education policy and the result of educational reforms similar to the "National System of Secondary Education in the framework of diversity."

Annually more than 400 thousand children leave primary school, in addition to the nearly nearly three million who did not conclude with nearly 300 thousand graduates and not enrolled in school. Over 5.5 million young people between 13 and 17 years (54% of the corresponding total) were excluded and educational backwardness figures (who are not literate or do not complete basic education) accounted for more than 36 million people, over 15 years, more than a third of the total population.
then give you some figures to reinforce these data.
The following table shows some data on education in Mexico, performed based on data provided by INEGI in 2005, 4 years ago (the latest data are from INEGI):



look more data that allow us to analyze the situation of education in Mexico:
These Dropout data are some levels of education in Mexico, INEGI data here are more recent, we have the data of the school year 2006/2007.



The higher the educational level in our country is more inclusive and desertion increases in percentage terms, this is the result of educational policies, economic social and in recent decades have been applied, as we said the philosophy of education quality has become a tool of exclusion, these figures shows the impact from the high school level and middle level education in our country.


Educational decentralization has also led to inequality in education levels, the difference between states like Michoacan, Oaxaca, Aguascalientes, Chiapas and Tabasco in contrast to the Federal District, State of Mexico and Guadalajara.

These are the hard facts of education in Mexico, but what about changes in the educational field? In that context promotes school reform?

In August 2005 it was announced the Integral Reform of Secondary Education, which amended the plans and curricula of the school level, although it is recognized as a serious problem of attrition at this level (20-23 %) not taken any measures to combat it clear, the argument for changing the curriculum was that "the plans and curricula were fragmented, there was an oversaturation of materials" and what they said caused "no interest in adolescent studies, "the reform was implemented, the materials were changed, the hours were reduced in subjects such as civics and history (social sciences) and the approval process of the RIES was exactly like the RIEMSER, according to the Secretariat of Public Education was a period of two years of evaluation for its implementation which was held consultations with teachers and students examined the employment status of teachers to carry out its implementation. The truth was different: the only ones to hear about the reform were the leaders of the SNTE charros, due to lack of information and guidance for reform an important part of teachers were against the RIES.

Another event that must not be missed is the signature of the Alliance for Quality Education (ACE), which lays the groundwork for the restructuring of basic education according to the dictates of so-called neoliberal model, the signature of the Alliance called for employers, government and society in general throughout the transforming education. It assumes and claims the so-called educational federalism, which is more than the decentralization of education that we have been discussing, the ACE is based on education conferences convened the charro leadership of SNTE, which reaffirmed the vision mercantile business and education.

The Alliance includes modernizing schools, driving schools calls pilot, where he carried out the experiments of ACE, through academic competition scheme will be allocated resources to equip them with information technology, also referred to include more students with scholarship opportunities, which the National Action Party has taken a big political advantage.

Obviously we do not oppose the modernization of the study centers, which we disagree is that we only grant this benefit to certain sectors only. If you wish to raise the educational level to equip all schools with the necessary tools for the study.

Another important factor to analyze is the formation of called Social Participation School Councils, which calls on all sectors of society to participate, this sets the precedent for the entrepreneurial vision of education is deepened through private sector participation in such bodies. Contemplate

curriculum reform to establish performance standards for evaluation, individual competition again in the field of education comes up.

ACE directly affects workers in the education, recruitment of teachers and workers will be through competitive examination, eliminating pit union participation in such decisions, hiring only be decided by the employer through such review, the promotion of teachers and workers are made through the National Evaluation System, subjecting labor competition with the aim of achieving "quality services" eliminating labor and union rights.

Examination of opposition represents a blow to the rule, any person may hold an undergraduate teaching position if presented and accepted by the paper, leaving aside all the academic and pedagogical preparation that must have someone to teach classes. With the signing of the ACE is followed by the disappearance from normal rural funadamentalmente because of its orientation towards the working class and poor peasantry, to normal are assigned the role of simple trainers of people who pass the examination of opposition.

The reform school and
In this context arises the Comprehensive Reform School (RIEMSER) \u200b\u200bto form the National High School, is not uncommon for months after the signing of the Alliance for Quality Education has progressed this initiative, reforms at all levels are not an isolated event, are part of the project right in government have for education.
The high school in Mexico is organized as follows:


is organized into 25 subsystems has its own way to organize, as we saw only 45% of school age are enrolled high school and an educational levels where the dropout rate is extremely high, this is just one problem, much of high school students fail to continue their studies at higher level due to the selection examinations in universities, which rejects about 70% of applicants.


The school has an enrollment of over 3.5 million young people nationally, but it is one of the areas where private initiative has advanced tremendously during the decade of the 90's enrollment in private schools built and this level was the one who got a major promotion, often such schools do not reach the quality of education provided in public schools

The main challenges of reform, he says is to improve coverage and respond to the demands of today's world and promote quality education, since according to say the poor quality is what brings students to drop out.

We've talked a lot about the concept of quality that neoliberalism promotes only comment that the reasons for school dropout: a young man in a society where 70% of the population is considered poor, where social inequality has deepened in recent years is the product of various pressures outside the schools, many young people are forced to work to help with family expenses, others are forced to quit school to devote himself to working life, wanting to solve the dropout problem without taking into account the social environment in which young develop is impossible to talk that the quality of education influences dropout only talking about a total ignorance of the problems found during the students' school life. It is contradictory these characters want to increase educational coverage, without increasing the budget allocated to public education.

Another RIEMSER objectives is to develop a common curriculum framework, by implementing the core curriculum in high school and approval of plans and programs of study to obtain a profile of the common high school graduate, this will be achieved according to its promoters by implementing what they call the powers that fall into generic, professional, and disciplinary.
