student political training school (4)

While the bankers and big business by lifting a telephone generate large movements of capital raised billions of dollars in profits, there are billions of people in poverty. 50 000 children die daily of starvation, disease becomes missing ancestral to collect thousands of victims. The collapse of capitalism not only condemns us to live in misery, but also threatens to destroy public education, which is the base to form a free education, democratic, secular and quality in Mexico and throughout the world.

Program

modernizing current educational policy of our country aims to meet the needs of foreign capital, hence the adaptation of curricula to the requirements of NAFTA and the OECD.

The educational project aims to privatization, this can be seen in increasing fees and declining enrollment nationwide is approximately 40%.

privatization also is reflected in education "constitutionally" in the reform of Article 3rd., In which only primary and secondary education would be the obligation of the State. So the State disclaims its responsibility for education Superior Media onwards. This means a decrease in education spending and hence the inability of workers' children have access to other levels of study.

disappearance has started racing that the State does not consider major (economics, sociology, etc.) To address other more "productive."

In fact the state is not interested in public education, from the presidency of de la Madrid, it became clear prioritization of the private school over the public.

student movements in 1986-87, and the struggles around the country since then, are a response to neoliberal projects that the state intends to implement.

The neoliberal project is by nature exclusionary, efficiency, uncritical, apolitical, etc.. By summarizing the main features of this model, we could say: 1 .-

raises the academic restrictions, aimed at the super specialization. No further knowledge that respective profession-oriented in this sense, education becomes only a matter of training for work, forgetting comprehensive training. 2 .- Set
evaluation of educational institutions based on cost-benefit approach in this way are used same criteria of industry, education assumes the character of business, said a director of a school long ago: "Our task is to produce engineers good for the industry at the lowest cost to the state." 3 .-
direct intervention of private initiative in defining the form and content of courses, as well as the needs of research, ie knowledge for capital. 4 .- Reduction
student enrollment and the elimination of races that are deemed not a priority for the capital.
5 .- Diversification of financing mechanisms, based on:
a) Allocation of budget, only depending on the implementation of projects that the government requested.
b) Collection of fees that the student intended to cover at least a quarter of the school budget.
c) Rationalization of expenditure, ie, downsizing to a minimum, both teachers and non teaching staff, as well as the provision of maintenance services, cleaning, security, etc.
e) private sector financing from projects aimed at them.
6 .- The Centralization of research and graduate level nationally. 7 .-
job performance evaluation based on criteria such as piecework, promotion based on performance alone, seniority does not matter.
8, - Restatement of labor relations on the basis of dealing with individuals, taking the relationship with the union to a purely formal.
9 .- Decentralization of institutions as a fundamental criterion taking the best political and administrative control thereof.
10 .- Disappearance of academic bodies, not dependent on central authority or could become an obstacle to the central guidelines and university academic boards should be eliminated. 11 .-
vertical line of authority is to say nothing of democracy within educational institutions. 12 .- Filtration
students, aimed at eliminating all those who not adapt to the individualistic model, all major limitation through mechanisms of income, education, scholarships, dining, transportation, etc.
13 .- federalization of the education system, state education systems, to prevent this national struggle, as the teachers of 89. 14 .- Redefining
university autonomy (depending on the state, no autonomy when it suits him and when not, because there is not).

modernizing state education policy seeks to establish permanently an adequate education in the sense that basically meets the requirements of the bourgeoisie: industrial, commercial, financial, etc.

The basic thrust of the modernization of education set out in the middle and higher levels, the reason is simple: this is where the studies can focus more directly link the individual to the productive apparatus.

be encouraged and encourage more pragmatic research and trend technique without proper scientific significance. Pamper now projects having to do with modernization in education. Thus, most students are inclined terminal unconditionally to these "new degree programs and graduate." Since the mid

of the eighties have been set higher level institutions that combine both public and private institutions has tended to establish some basic criteria to guide the modernization of education. Particularly in Mexico, ANUIES (National Association of Universities and Institutions of Higher Education) performs this function.

The prospect of privatization has defined implementation strategies, one of which is to transform the regulatory state educator education. The regulatory function is set to turn mainly based on administrative criteria. These are the general entrance exams, professional tests, procedures institutional assessment etc. They all seek to create standards, they say quality, we say the gentrification of education. Another implementation strategy is the administrative decentralization which basically seeks to establish mechanisms to isolate the fighting pair in this state or sector where they develop.

The restriction of the education budget does not have its root cause in the decline in oil but in state education policy. The logic of the bourgeoisie is to generalize the shortcomings in the educational environment for privatization, and thus find that the charging of fees is the only way to solve the growing problem of inadequate resources.

Ultimately, after protests over the past 12 years, the problem for the state has not been the need to change education policy, but the rates at which privatization is being implemented.

The attitude of the "authorities"

In the current state of "every man for himself" the government, principals and directors have taken up an old word for a lot of popularity in the university "autonomy", especially in the financial aspect simply means that they will have to scratch your own nails with different schools and colleges out of the budget problem we have in this aspect heterogeneity tactics for the same strategy (privatization in disguise of autonomy). Words like self

are now very dangerous. Are used to establish more authoritarian practices in the regulation of the academic or administrative centers of study. Labor relations are not immune to it. The modernization claims that the union activity of the institutions is as gentle as possible, so the impetus to the charros. All this regulation authoritarian life within education institutions is accompanied by the construction of private entities, clubs, foundations, associations, chambers of commerce committees, including other things. The guiding public relations are strengthened by these private entities while becomes increasingly challenged the various communities that decide the direction. Donations to the UNAM through such institutions are limited in these areas.

policy to reduce the tuition is not over in terms of achieving its objectives, the HEI (Higher Education Institutions) are in a hurry to reform the laws to their advantage. The secondary and higher education in this aspect will be further hit the bulk of the education sector.

At the end of principals and directors began demanding a pun larger budget. In fact everything was simple speech to quell the spirits of student protests.

UNAM

The case of UNAM is undoubtedly the most politically sensitive. Without doubt this is the reason why the chancellor Barnes, though never explicitly spoke of a rise in shares either, took the finger of the line, "to be analyzed carefully" (La Jornada 23/12/1998). Was circulated among various academics that the aim of guiding is that it would not affect "the economy of families," gaining 20% \u200b\u200bof the cost per pupil, which, according to a study of 25 000 pesos for undergraduate and 12 500 for high school in time of printing this booklet is the concrete proposal of 1360 pesos for 2100 for high school and college.

UNAM live In the continuation of a process that began immediately after the 86-87 conflict with measures to be implemented gradually and systematically, that the effect of "twist" has turned into one of the UNAM governing institutions in the process of attacks on public education. The consolidation and acceptance of General Professional Quality Review, the growing interference of the ANUIES (now with a majority of private schools), the destruction of the few organs in which the university had any hope of resistance student tuition reduction, reduced almost to nothing to support research projects, are all tools and excuses for the privatization that occurs in all public schools and more relevantly in the UNAM. In this context

departmental reviews are more legislative and administrative measures. This affected the dwindling student rights. To avoid a chain reaction of students in the authorities has sought to implement tests and uneven heterogeneous forms in different races and areas separately.
