The social and cultural orientation of the educationas well as your access to all the populationare fundamental for the development process from any country. Its provision comes from fundamental right of education which is described in article 3 of our Constitution. The importance of the education for him economic growth and the social developmentas well as its conception of law, makes education face permanent institutional challenges to continue improving indicators linked to coverage, quality and its ability to promote development. national development.
Within the framework of Teacher’s DayI think it is necessary to emphasize how the education and teaching work have a positive impact on people’s life trajectories. If people, upon entering formal education and continuing in the educational system, manage to have the highest level of schooling, their capacity to have better living conditions grows.
A country that manages to improve access and permanence in the education system It also increases its competitiveness and economic attractiveness to increase the quality and quantity of work spaces.
Regarding this topic, the article “Higher education and development: the challenges of Mexico” by Dr. Leonardo Lomelí Venegas, Rector of the UNAM, reports that “the countries that managed to advance rapidly in search of development during the second half of the 20th century have in common having increased spending on education.” This pattern is repeated so far in the 21st century given that the most successful countries have been those that built comparative advantages above all through education and a clear vision of the future of work.
In the case of our country, it has historically required the strengthening of public education at all levels and the implementation of educational transformations linked to both the experience of students and teachers in the teaching process. learning. In such a way, as performance audits in the ASF have analyzed, the Country has made progress in achieving strategic objectives: reducing educational lag, increasing the level of public spending on education, increasing the average national schooling level and reducing the experiences such as inequality gaps (territorial and gender) in access to educational services.
The educational achievements are clear, for example, in the period from 2010 to 2020 the average level of schooling at the national level went from 8.6 to 9.7 years. This substantive improvement is reflected at the national level given that 18 states are above the national average. Regarding public spending on education, the increase has been constant and in the period from 2021 to 2023 it was up to 12%.
Furthermore, the deconcentration of public universities, including technological ones, towards federal entities such as Oaxaca, is an important step that was needed.
Higher education still faces challenges, especially those related to coverage. This implies the need for better budget provisions, permanent dialogue with the productive sector to facilitate the school-work transition of those who graduate from universities and higher education institutions, especially public ones.
This entire context in which education takes place is an implicit recognition of the importance of teaching work. On many occasions, teachers—at all educational levels—contribute additional efforts to encourage students and improve teaching conditions. The work of teachers is praiseworthy and worthy of recognition.
