Contemporary educational problems in Mexico

Introduction

The problems that afflict Education Mexico, are different from the economy, culture, family problems, teachers’ attitudes towards students, educational reforms, plans and program, etc.

In recent times, attention to education has been overturned and especially at the work carried out by the teacher, the problems of education seemed to focus on education and quote “it is also obliged to take into consideration not only the reforms of the last decade,but the great reforms that were defined in respect to the beginning of the last decade of the last century ”. (From Ibarrola Pag. 17).

The main problems are:

• Illiteracy
• Demand and coverage
• Disapproval and dropout
• Lag
• Quality and equity
• Educational policies

The causes of these problems have different aspects range from social, economic situations, educational reforms and the same attitudes of the students and families of these.

Developing

• Illiteracy

The economic problems are the ones that highlight in this type of problem since due to lack of stable economy people do not study or have to be incorporated into working life from very children in addition to also in rural areas there is no coverage of whyLess preschool, primary and secondary education.

There is functional illiteracy which is formed only for students.

We also have the digital gap, for those who have less since now many people are overwhelmed by the access and use of technology.

As mentioned ”(Serrano and Martínez, 2003). The digital gap is defined as the separation that exists between people (communities, states, countries …) that ICT use as a routine part of their daily life and those that do not have access to them and that although they have them do not know howuse them

But the main illiteracy remains the lack of reading and writing the government is in charge of INEA to cover this service, in which students can obtain their certificate through two exams

• Demand and coverage

The Mexican education system is exceeded to offer free education and opens the way for multiple private options, within all levels from initial to postgraduate.

The initial level will currently be more regulated since it will have its plan and program according to the level. Within the lack of coverage and demand are:

1. The coverage of education does not reach remote places where the government puts as a pretext the lack of resources to reach those communities
2. The lack of universities
3. Public universities grew without control
4. Traditional races are preferred
5. It is a stretch and loosen with what the federal system and state governments offers
6. The lack of demand in the work world of exact sciences such as mathematics
7. The coverage of the equation does not reach remote places where the government puts as a pretext the lack of resources to reach those communities

The universities for well -being Benito Juárez García began their activities in March 2019 with 100 schools in 31 entities. For the installation of the schools, preference was given to areas of high population density in which there is null offer of university studies and with a high degree of social lag, marginalization and violence. University schools are distributed in Oaxaca (11 campuses), Mexico City (10), Veracruz (8), Chiapas and Guanajuato (6). The other entities have between 2 and 5 schools. Together, universities for well -being offer 32 thousand places for students, which will receive a scholarship of 2,400 pesos per month.

The permanent buildings in which universities for well -being will operate will be built with the community work and local workers’ contest, in donated land or delivered in bailment by peasants, municipalities or ejido police stations. The careers offered are civil, industrial, forestry, agrifood, environmental, agroforestry, electromechanical, agronomy, in mines, fish, in aquaculture, in sustainable regional development, chemistry of the oil industry, in administration of the energy industry and inOil processes, in renewable energies;Comprehensive Medicine and Community Health;Nursing and obstetrics;Veterinary Medicine;Accounting and public administration;Law;Historical heritage and travel industry;Integrated water management;Normal basic education;Social studies;Historical and biocultural heritage;Physical education;Municipal administration and public policies;Music and rural and intercultural bilingual rural and normal

• Disapproval and dropout

Reprobation and dropout can be voluntary or forced, it varies between educational levels depends on personal factors;Like the attitude of the students, lack of motivation, disinterest of students, harmful attitudes of the teacher. Family problems lack of support from it.

The quality of the school system and is not assumed from the statistics of reprobation and dropout;There is now a new evidence, apparently unquestionable, which is based with mathematical precision through the performance of young people in national and international standardized tests. (From Ibarrola Pag. twenty).

Desertion at the upper middle level is the most impressive, since the levels of dropout are higher.

• Lag

The educational lag is the condition in which a person over 15 years old is when his basic education has not completed.

The general director of the National Institute for Adult Education (INEA), in November 2004 made a forceful statement in this regard: “[…] there are three Mexico: one educated of almost 30 million;another that studies, which is approximately 32 million;And Mexico in the educational lag, which are 30 million Mexicans

It is important to combat the educational lag, but the programs that are mostly in the State of Mexico do not provide a fair and appropriate budget

• Quality and equity

Currently education has to be of excellence and equity according to article 3 renovated. But in order to be within the quality standards, you have to measure in international tests but the standards of these tests are automated do not take into account students’ learning styles

• The politics

Mexicans first, attacked the work of the teachers making them prey to Mexican society by downloading in the teaching work all the problems of education being that teachers have to work with limited infrastructure, lack of materials, lack of interest of parents inThe equation of their children, cultural and religious ideologies

The Federation corresponds exclusively to determine the plans and programs of study for primary school, high school (then preschool was introduced);normal, and everything related to the training of basic education teachers;establish the school calendar;Prepare and keep updated free textbooks regulate the National System of Training, Update, Training and Profession.

Fluid and necessary communication in a large number of items directly related to the improvement of the quality of education, such as the direct and organic exchange of “good practices” between colleagues, the elaboration of materials, and the experimentation of innovations without pressures, Bureaucratic evaluations or demands. Communication remains "in cascade", with serious effects of "decomposed telephone". (From Ibarrola Pag. twenty).

Take into account the formation of sports and creativity and art and training for work there are no adequate facilities

In the National Development Program, scholarship programs cover all the initial until superior levels and that of young people writing the future

Given this circumstance, the federal government promised from the beginning to improve the material conditions of the schools of the country, to guarantee the access of all young people to education and to reverse the so -called educational reform. The Ministry of Public Education has the task of dignifying schools and the Federal Executive, the Congress of the Union and the National Magisterium are in a dialogue process to build a new legal framework for teaching.

And on the agenda ´ for 2030 they are ending poverty and hunger in all its forms and dimensions, and to ensure that all human beings can perform their potential with dignity and equality and in a healthy environment.

When this great trip will undertake together, we promise that no one will be left behind.

We recognize that the dignity of the human person is fundamental, so we want to see compliments and goals for all nations and peoples and for all sectors of society, and we will strive to first reach the most lagging behind.
