Nuevo León, Mexico Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Directorate for Education Education Management and Infrastructure Division Programme on Institutional Management in Higher Education (IMHE) Supporting the Contribution of Higher Education Institutions to Regional Development Peer Review Report Nuevo León, Mexico José-Ginés Mora, Francisco Marmolejo, Vera Pavlakovich-Kochi November 2006 The views expressed are those of the authors and not necessarily those of the OECD or its Member countries. 1 This Peer Review Report is based on the review visit to Nuevo León in March 2006, the regional Self- Evaluation Report, and other background material. As a result, the report reflects the situation up to that period. The preparation and completion of this report would not have been possible without the support of very many people and organisations. OECD/IMHE and the Peer Review Team for Nuevo León wish to acknowledge the substantial contribution of the region, particularly through its Coordinator, the authors of the Self-Evaluation Report, and its Regional Steering Group. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS PREFACE....................................................................................................................................................... 5 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ............................................................................................................................ 6 ABBREVIATIONS AND ACRONYMS..................................................................................................... 11 1.

The first was the Self-Evaluation Report (SER) that was produced by a regional team under the supervision of INVITE, a regional state government agency in charge of developing cross-border relationships in the area of research and innovation. Various circumstances, including the appointment of the director of INVITE – the Regional Coordinator of this project – to a different state government position in the State of Nuevo León, delayed the preparation of the SER and limited the self-reflection on the state of relations between Nuevo León universities and the region. This circumstance added to the difficulty of a timely understanding of the situation. Nevertheless, these difficulties were diminished through collaborative efforts and assistance provided by all participants during the visit of the PRT. We have written this report with four main readerships in mind. The first is the people working together for the development of the State of Nuevo León, a dynamic region at the Northeast of Mexico. We hope that the report will help them in building balanced development through sustained partnership between the region and its universities. Secondly,

  • Research Summary the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme in Mexico As Preparation for Higher Education
    Research Summary The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme in Mexico as Preparation for Higher Education Based on a research report prepared for the IB by: Anna Rosefsky Saavedra, The RAND Corporation Elisa Lavore, Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México Georgina Flores, Facultad Latinoamericana de Ciencias Sociales-México June 2013 Background Through intercultural understanding and respect, the International Baccalaureate (IB) aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people in order to create a better and more peaceful world. The IB offers a continuum of international education for students between the ages of 3 and 19 years. The Primary Years Programme (PYP) is designed for students aged 3 to 12; the Middle Years Programme (MYP) serves students aged 11 to 16; and the Diploma Programme (DP) and IB Career- related certificate (IBCC) are aimed at students aged 16 to 19. Founded in 1968, the organization currently works with more than 3,500 schools in over 140 countries to deliver academically rigorous programmes to over one million students. In this report, the researchers examine the relationship between Mexican students’ enrollment in the DP and their college preparedness at four Mexican case study schools. Similar to the United States and many other countries worldwide, Mexico is experiencing strong growth in IB programme implementation in schools. From 2000–2004, the number of schools in Mexico offering IB programmes doubled; it then more than doubled again in the following eight years from 2004–2012 such that today over 90 schools in Mexico offer IB programmes. While there is a growing body of research on the relationship between IB Diploma Programme enrollment and preparedness for higher education in the US, UK and Australia, there is currently very little research on the IB Diploma Programme in Mexico and in other Latin American countries.
