MEXICO: Education reform under threat
Mexico’s President Enrique Peña Nieto recently said that the biggest achievement of his presidency was the approval of his proposed structural economic reforms. Peña Nieto maintains that they will help to unlock Mexico’s economic potential. However, the most lauded, and arguably the most impactful of these, the education reform, looks in jeopardy. President-elect Andrés Manuel López Obrador has reiterated his intention to replace the reform with his own. The fear is that in the process, his government will hinder Mexico’s education sector by restoring some of the significant influence that teachers’ unions lost under Peña Nieto’s reform.
