During the colonial period, Catholic religious orders created numerous educational institutions and established the first university (1551). Following independence, education was taken over by the Mexican government(1833), but educational development was disrupted by subsequent strugglesbetween Conservatives and Liberals, war with the United States, andinvasion by France. Following expulsion of the French(1867), Benito Juarez' government established the nonreligious, free, andobligatory aspects of education. During the era of Porfirio Diaz(1876-1910), notable ministers of education expanded primary and secondary schooling, supported women's education and higher education, established dozens of normal schools, and effected progressive federalization of instruction. After the Revolution (1910), increased attention was given to illiteracy, rural education, and the education andsocial integration of indigenous peoples. The present structure of the Mexican educational system is based on:(1) Articles 30 and 31 of the Constitution; (2) the National Agreement for the Modernization of Basic Education, 1992, a massive reform that decentralized the system, restructured and modernized curricula and educational practices, and increased teacher salaries and support for professional development; and (3) the General Law of Education, 1993. Detailed descriptions are provided for each level of education: initial education for children aged 45 days to 3 years and their mothers; preschool education, including kindergarten; primary education (grades 1-6); secondarY education (grades 7-9); media superior (preparatory) education (2-3 years); higher education, technological education, and postgraduate study in public and private universities and technological institutes. Teacher education and adult education in literacy and job skills are also described. Contains 26 references.

El análisis se centra en el lugar que ocupa cada una de estas formaciones en el modelo curricular, en los procesos de evaluación, en la dinámica institucional y en la demanda estudiantil. Los resultados indican el poco interés de los estudiantes y en general de la comunidad escolar por la educación técnica, en contraste con el impulso que recibe la formación propedéutica conducente a la educación superior. Se sugiere que esta predisposición es una muestra del alto grado de academización (academic drift) por el que está transitando el bachillerato tecnológico industrial. Abstract: This article examines the results obtained from a documentary study related to the tensions and dilemmas of general education versus vocational training as experienced in the high schools in Mexico's federal subsystem of Technical High Schools for Industry and Services. The analysis focuses on the place the two types of training occupy in the curriculum, assessment processes, institutional dynamics, and student demand. The results indicate that students and the general school community have little interest in technical education, in contrast with the enthusiasm shown for college preparatory studies.

  • The Reconstruction of Colonial Monuments in the 1920S and 1930S in Mexico ELSA ARROYO and SANDRA ZETINA
    The reconstruction of Colonial monuments in the 1920s and 1930s in Mexico ELSA ARROYO AND SANDRA ZETINA Translation by Valerie Magar Abstract This article presents an overview of the criteria and policies for the reconstruction of historical monuments from the viceregal period in Mexico, through the review of paradigmatic cases which contributed to the establishment of practices and guidelines developed since the 1920s, and that were extended at least until the middle of the last century. It addresses the conformation of the legal framework that gave rise to the guidelines for the protection and safeguard of built heritage, as well as the context of reassessment of the historical legacy through systematic studies of representative examples of Baroque art and its ornamental components, considered in a first moment as emblematic of Mexico’s cultural identity. Based on case studies, issues related to the level of reconstruction of buildings are discussed, as well as the ideas at that time on the historical value of monuments and their function; and finally, it presents the results of the interventions in terms of their ability to maintain monuments as effective devices for the evocation of the past through the preservation of its material remains. Keywords: reconstruction, viceregal heritage, neo-Colonial heritage Background: the first piece of legislation on monuments as property of the Mexican nation While the renovation process of the Museo Nacional was taking place in 1864 during the Second Empire (1863-1867) under the government of the Emperor Maximilian of Habsburg, social awareness grew about the value of objects and monuments of the past, as well as on their function as public elements capable of adding their share in the construction of the identity of the modern nation that the government intended to build in Mexico.

  • The Education System in Mexico Education the System
    THE SYSTEM EDUCATION IN MEXICO Over the last three decades, a significant amount of research has sought to relate educational institutions, policies, practices and reforms to social structures and agencies. A number of models have been developed that have become the basis for attempting to understand the complex relationship between education and society. At the same time, national and international bodies tasked with improving educational performances seem to be writing in a void, in that there is no rigorous theory guiding their work, and their documents exhibit few THE references to groups, institutions and forces that can impede or promote their programmes and projects. As a result, the recommendations these bodies provide to their clients display little to no comprehension of how and under what conditions the recommendations can be put into effect. The Education System in Mexico directly addresses this problem. By combining abstract EDUCATION insights with the practicalities of educational reforms, policies, practices and their social antecedents, it offers a long overdue reflection of the history, effects and significance of the Mexican educational system, as well as presenting a more cogent understanding of the relationship between educational institutions and social forces in Mexico and around the SYSTEM world.

  • John Dewey's Influence in Mexico: Rural Schooling, 'Community,' and the Vitality of Context by Deron Boyles English Abstra
    John Deweyʼs Influence in Mexico: Rural Schooling, ʻCommunity,ʼ And the Vitality of Context by Deron Boyles John Dewey’s Influence in Mexico: Rural Schooling, ‘Community,’ and the Vitality of Context by Deron Boyles English Abstract This paper shows that the contexts of rural Mexico in the 1920s and 1930s (unintentionally) provided the conditions for which Dewey’s philosophy was relevant and useful. This work also problematizes the degree to which it can be said that Dewey was a primary or central figure in Mexico’s revolutionary efforts to transform education and schooling. While there is evidence of Dewey’s influence primarily because of his connections to two of his students, Moisés Sáenz and Rafael Ramirez, a more powerful influential figure, José Vasconcelos, complicates the matter. Add to this complication the varied and tumultuous transactions in commerce, politics, and religion, and the importance of contexts and connections becomes clear. Resumen en español Este documento se muestran que los contextos de las zonas rurales de México en los años 1920 y 1930 (involuntariamente) siempre y cuando las condiciones para que Dewey la filosofía era pertinente y útil. Este trabajo también cuestionar el grado en que se puede decir que Dewey fue una de las principales o figura central en México revolucionario de los esfuerzos para transformar la educación y a la escuela. Si bien hay pruebas de Dewey la influencia, principalmente debido a sus conexiones para dos de sus estudiantes, Moisés Sáenz y Rafael Ramírez, una más potente e influyente figura, José Vasconcelos, complica el asunto. Añadir a esta complicación el variado y tumultuosa las transacciones en el comercio, política y religión, y la importancia de los contextos y conexiones queda claro.
