Education U-turn: the shape of things to come?
On 29 May, just over a week before Mexico’s mid-term elections, the ministry of education published a terse statement on its website. In view of “new elements to be considered” it said, the process of teacher assessment in basic and upper middle schools would be “indefinitely suspended”. How this full story will play out remains to be seen, but some are already describing the announcement as a key turning point in the six-year presidency of Enrique Peña Nieto (2012-2018). For these critics, this latest move may sound the death-knoll for the reformist and modernising zeal displayed in the first half of Peña Nieto’s presidency.
