Mexico education system faces funding cuts and enrollment challenges
A recent study by the Iniciativa de Educación con Equidad y Calidad (IEEC) of Tecnológico de Monterrey and México Evalúa highlights significant challenges in the Mexican education system. The report indicates that 17 states have seen an increase in suspended school days. Furthermore, resources allocated to learning assessments have dropped by 73.7% within a single year. The national system currently serves over 34 million students, but only 26 out of every 100 primary school students eventually complete a university degree.
In the private education sector in Mexico, institutions are facing financial strain. According to a Mattilda report, private schools are operating at roughly 62% of their capacity, with an average of 369 students enrolled per 500 available spots. Additionally, 91.7% of these institutions report that monthly delinquency rates, which exceed 10% on average, are negatively impacting their ability to operate and invest in growth.
