"Which school do you recommend?", difficult decision without an information platform

By Nurit Martínez

In the last week I received a couple of calls from very good friends who asked me: what school do you recommend for my child? Both were concerned about finding the public or private school that would ensure the best education for their children.

More than a recommendation, in Mexico we only have information to give references of what we have been told, of how a child, nephew or acquaintance did, but the educational system does not have a platform that provides us with information to make an informed decision about which is the best school.

Several doubts arise when making a decision to enroll children in school, from preschool through college.

Starting this week, thousands of families are at the crossroads of deciding on the school, principals, teachers and staff to whom we will entrust our greatest treasure, our children, our family members.
