Mexican education system attrition and development

Overview

Data from the Secretariat of Public Education (SEP) under the Claudia Sheinbaum government indicates significant attrition within the Mexican education system. A report shows that of the students who began primary school in the 2008-2009 cycle, only 34% successfully obtained a university degree 16 years later. Graduation rates decline at each stage, dropping from 97% in primary school to 81% in secondary school, 60% in upper secondary, and 34% in higher education.

In response to educational challenges, specific institutions and networks are reporting different trends. The University of Colima has moved to ratify 20 full-time professors for its high school programs to bolster academic development. Additionally, Mexico’s national network of technological and polytechnic universities reported a 10% decrease in dropout rates over the last two years, citing a new educational model based on shared study programs and professional competency certification. In the State of Mexico, enrollment is projected to grow by 10% for the upcoming cycle.
