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).

content

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.

The end of free education

Nationally we have 29 institutions which have already implemented significant contributions definitely cancel the free nature of education and leading the gentrification of education at a very advanced level. Could be divided into three types of procedures to achieve this form of privatization: the consensus, index and credits.

of consensus can be categorized as procedures implemented in the UNAM, where the application of the definitive agreement will be subject to a community that has been worked for years for this purpose.

indexing, would be to hold a certain level of contributions to the minimum wage or some similar parameter.

of credit, is a procedure which is implemented at the University of Puebla and involves the application of quotas on the basis of claims to which the student enrolls in a school year.

In good measure this diversity of procedures determined by the variety of forms of student protest. We know that the schemes mentioned above can be changed or modified so that each institution can see all kinds of proposals. If students are struggling against a schema will try to implement another or if an amendment thereto. Furthermore, this diversity also depends on the type and form of services provided by the Institution to members of their community and abroad.

Therefore the orientation of the slogans of the student movement must focus on the ways that one way or another might assume some kind of charge but against the same collection. At UNAM, for example, no charge for registration but it is by right to a laboratory, a credential, etc.

UNAM is the institution of greater political weight in the overall higher education, however it would be incorrect to believe as many do, that everything that happens outside of it is irrelevant.

STUDENT MOVEMENT TODAY

response student.

privatization reforms are being implemented for quite some time are very advanced compared to the response of the students, who in most cases only aimed at combating one or another result of privatization but not privatization itself this due to insufficient analysis of the problem and organizational dispersion.

The reforms that are in great speeches or college votes are being implemented every day in each faculty and school. The authorities are seeking as usual to give a dye purely administrative reforms to student sectors disguising most backward politically. Is therefore important to rescue the specific without losing sight of the overall dynamic of privatization. Far

the primary objective of the Student Movement (ME), which should be to analyze the problem, disseminate information and organize a unified response, most student groups are aimed at combating one or another feature of privatization and it's not privatization privatization of education is applied in many forms is given from the most insignificant charge for any service, as always, the authorities try to disguise it as a purely administrative change, "to increase fees legalized. Therefore, to avoid falling into a dynamic empiricist to prevent us from seeing beyond the immediate future we must appreciate and distinguish characteristics of privatization without losing sight of the overall dynamics of the process.

One of the main characteristics of the student movement is that students are mobilized themselves only when they are directly targeted to your interests. This is one of the possible scenarios that may occur in the next period in schools and especially in higher education. It is also one of the main challenges for the next period will be to eliminate the authorities' attempts to isolate the struggles and possible unification of the movement and give a more organized and structured as possible.

Thus there are many opportunities that present an unprecedented period of struggle, including work stoppages and strikes in the province, all in a variety of expressions of struggle against the attempts of local authorities struggle to harbor Max. But the central issue is that the student masses tend to break with the logic that has led to isolation in their struggle, hence the importance of linking the struggles of today and the defense of employment. It is essential to implement proposals that exceed the minimum student to be the basis for a link with the struggle of the workers.

experiences, defeats and clashes with authority students will find ways to be effective organization to address such obstacles, however this process is not automatic or conscious and can last a long time if not an alternative appears to make explicit the process.

Looking for an alternative.

The objective factors for a mass struggle in the student movement are more than craps, which is clearly insufficient for the levels of organizational and programmatic approaches in the fight. The crisis of the student movement is the crisis of his leadership, for all that now more than ever needs to be promoted the formation of student committees.

No However as we have said, the processes are not automatic, it is clear that due to lack of confidence they have generated many student organizations regarding the bases, will arise almost spontaneously "organizations" by race, by area. These forms of organization are far from being an alternative and at a given time will have to rise to the need for activist organizations structured as possible.

is clear that the current responsible for the existing student organizations will not, can not or are not aware of what it means to promote a unified movement as currently required. In all groups dominated by purely defense, the role played so far is not at all correct, only very general positions taken: anti ANUIES or ANTICENEVAL, "no privatization" without even one particular approach.

struggle in the People's University Chontalpa, students in protest convened in early June 1998 to the general public to join them. At least in the aspect of unity between the struggle of students and people in general this is an example that should be followed by students in the Midwest.

In the coming period will see a very heterogeneous process of struggles, periods of calm and effervescent action, though only by the experience of the masses themselves can obtain correct conclusions. The fight is against privatization but in each case can be expressed differently.

Privatization hits all schools and it determines the need for real unity, not feigned or declarative of the student movement. Combining the general and individuals on a platform of demands to unify the struggles, is a major challenge in the coming period. However, so is the need to build the foundations of a truly democratic organization, and ongoing fighting totally linked to the struggles of farm workers and the city.

A key step in next fight will be the construction of this alternative and from the moment students in each school, each school should take steps for the formation of student committees that meet regularly to discuss the next steps and how to jointly coordinate confront the government in its eagerness to destroy something that has cost workers many years of struggle and many deaths: public education. Enough

ephemeral organizations that last only for a particular political situation or sects that are completely isolated student movement. If we raise the student movement at the height of los acontecimientos debemos construir una organización nacional, permanente, combativa y con un carácter de clase, en la que los métodos, tácticas y cuestiones organizativas sean puntos centrales en la discusiones cotidianas. Este tipo de organización la crearemos con base en las experiencias anteriores y sacando las conclusiones necesarias.

COMITÉS ESTUDIANTILES*

Introducción

La demanda de educación pública, gratuita, democrática y de calidad, sólo se podrá garantizar with the necessary resources. Employers and the government have. We want the resources to pay a living wage for teachers, to improve and expand educational facilities for new equipment and laboratory practices.

The only government that can guarantee that these gains are respected, is a government that responds to and defends the interests of workers and the exploited. This government is called democracy working.

To solve our problems we need a control program and a plan of action and the organization that can carry forward. There is currently no alternative in the student sector bodies to bring together, at least the majority of activists to carry out an effective struggle.

activists is the task of constructing this alternative: a student organization at each study center to head the daily struggles of the students for better learning conditions, against the gentrification of education, for greater democracy in the student bodies of colleges.

This is a process that occurs not only have good intentions and raise them in a flyer or document. Defined actions are needed for this. The discussion on the national situation, the current stage of struggle and orientation necessarily have to be mirrored by actions concrete. Currently there

weakness within the Student Movement. There is nothing to unify activists to work everyday, the actions are responses to situations rather than planned activities.

The central task now is to bring together all partners seeking an alternative student and youth of fighting, each group of student activists as a committee, to conduct an ongoing work, train and consolidate the comrades who have come these groups in some way.

is wrong that activists seek to substitute the momentum merely cultural issues of students who currently claim the political struggle. Missing, then a more detailed explanation and patient experiences in the various committees of struggle has been to throughout its history to accurately characterize their role and value its importance. STUDENT COMMITTEES

The creation of student committees is an activity that does not happen by decree or by choice, but is the result of the discussion of alternatives, guidance and perspectives of the student movement.

In the history of the student movement have been many attempts to strengthen it, but these have not borne fruit due to sectarianism, on the one hand, and the other to a wrong view of what which is conceived as ME.

The ME is a very broad spectrum which brings together students from various political tendencies, ranging from academicians, reformists to those who fight for the transformation of society. The ME of struggle takes many forms ranging from minimal democratic demands in the tanks, for improvements in academic terms, to the political struggle against the system.

The significance of the ME is given in two forms: the struggle for minimum democratic rights (in 1968 and 1988) and improved facilities, better learning conditions, against quotas, etc., (1986-87, 1991 , 1992, the latest).

This struggle has become important because the students have struggled putting at risk the government's education policy and the authorities.

The struggle for educational transformation takes no political significance for many students today (that prevails in Mexico City), but has been the moral support of society and the questioning at any time capitalism.

students do not perform marches, work stoppages and strikes for pleasure, but when forced to, when they make the conclusion that we must fight to solve the daily problems that arise: lack of laboratory equipment, inadequate facilities, collection for services, lack of teachers.

is imperative that each school's CE form, these are a core reference for students in every school and every school. The purpose of the CE's is a need for ME.

We must be able to translate the discontent of the students against the education authority into a force capable of offensive against the system.

These students protesting lack of teachers, because there is no laboratory equipment for their practices, because the photocopy service has increased, because there are enough books in the library, etc., Are the same, with a clear and firm guidance will take to the streets to fight for demanding solution to these problems and questions the educational policy and system, not the layout of the authorities to meet their demands.

committees are bodies that will replace the activities of the students at our school, but the reference point that may have to organize and fight, and at some point, support the motion control.

instances of participation of the students are diverse. Can be split from the group organization to solve specific problems but may have a much wider: group representatives for entire careers, academic departments, entire generations or counselors, etc.

The student council can not replace these levels of participation.

ROLE OF COMMITTEES

present two positions on the student organizations regularly:

a) The Government seeks the student organization is the widest possible (plural) and have representation at all times most students;

b) the student organization that raises control committees.

The first type of organization is presented, such as federations, which are provided by election of a leadership whose function is to determine the direction and meaning. Its structure represents all groups and students from schools or institutions bonded there, although their bases not know or do not want anything from them.

FEU U of G students and companies is built in a corporate way. Students who feel disenfranchised and are against the leadership are not taken into account in these schools. Do not say of course that the federations are not used. Have played an important role for me at the time. A permanent organization of activists is what we promote a student cadre organization working within schools, in the ME.

Most Peer tend to organize in different ways: from their group to assemblies of delegates or representatives spontaneous race. Students do not take the student organization as their own, unless they feel that this organization to defend their interests and are willing to participate in, or in actions to which calls albeit circumstantial.

The CEU (UNAM) and CEP (IPN) were representing the extent to which students listened to the demands posed by these organizations.

Around the second form of organization, the committees are intended to find that students self-organize to solve their problems. Many students not participate, but in fact support their actions to the extent of clarity and proportion of goals.

promote and strengthen committees instances of student participation.
His voice external members of the committee as advisers, representatives of the group, race or proposals for new activists. It is only through collective action and decisive majority of students in each school as you can make a difference. We

the development of the struggle that combines the mobilization of students to public trading off the bases. Although the problem of education is not finally resolved until we change policy Current education is necessary to fight and get today demands solutions that allow me to extend trust.

The committee must allow the political level and awareness of students.

Advocates should be directed to our classmates have enough elements to make decisions on student class.

ECs should report what happens secretly against students, the causes of these problems and provide guidance.

CE can play the leading role in the event of mobilization. This address is to win at the facts, because our conscience at work, and because it imposes in the direction of motion.

METHODS OF ORGANIZATION AND COMPOSITION OF COMMITTEES

Participation in the EC must be individual. Partners should feel the need to participate. Members of corporate organizations are statutorily required to participate, not by personal control.

The EC should have a set of basic principles and working methods by which they should govern and self control. These must be the result of a discussion involving peers.

is necessary that the full committee to help raise policy for students, make them see the need to organize and fight fans. Through a series of protest or cultural activities is necessary for the committee to be known by students to gain their support and confidence.

One of the core activities of the committee is student participation in representative bodies of academic groups, counselors, general councils of representatives, delegate assemblies, etc. This means that there must be a program.
The tasks are many:

1. Membership of many members, it is important that the committee worry about growing through afiliación.2 campaigns. Platforms protest where you can include proposals to solve everyday problems school.3. Information: Information.4 permanent campaigns. Finance: financial resources materialize the ideas and extend the fight by spreading; should consider activities that do not allow relatives of those resources; 5. cultural activities with political meaning.
The committee should have a minimal structure enabling it to function efficiently. In each member must be a responsibility and commitment to the organization. It is not bureaucratisation but organize the fight. Many activists think that's just a matter of will to work, but no stable organization structure tends to disintegrate: Finance, Press and Propaganda, Academic Affairs, Foreign Affairs, or link, etc..

to perform activities should be discussed on a daily basis by all members through general assemblies that can be bi-weekly, or as needed.

The heads of the committees are responsible for coordinating work in the organization. The commission will integrate all partners. These committees are responsible for implementing the tasks the General Assembly committee has determined. A committee (organization, growth, or information platforms) must coordinate all these activities and provide regular and consistent monitoring. If you need a political education program attached to the scheduling of committee activities.
