What do Mexicans go to school for?

By Ivabelle Arroyo

There is a country in which children go to school without their teachers, their parents or school administrators being clear about what they are going to be taught. A country in which the government changes the educational content and forces the whole society to use its official dictation as a basis, but does not succeed. A country in which parents reject teaching with bonfires for books. A country in which parents' associations accuse teachers and authorities of perverting minors. A country where the powers of the Federation send contradictory orders: distribute - do not distribute. A country in which it is not known what education is for, how it is educated and with what it is educated.

That country is ours and the full responsibility for the chaos in this area lies with the government of Andrés Manuel López Obrador, but not for having sought to transform the education system, but for closing the door to governance.
