Cambios sociales y evaluación de la educación en México. El caso de la lectura

Abstract

Starting from the reading of official documents, one can reflect about the changes the Mexican Government has presented for assuming itself as an evaluating state; about the Cooperative Organization for the Economical Development (OCDE) participation to the diagnostics about education in Mexico, and the Students Evaluation International Program (PISA) application their autocomes, and  the answer given by the guvernment when generating strategies to change the Mexican population reading abilities.

Here, the outcomes of a survey carried out in 2005 by the Federal Procurator Office for Consumers (Profeco) in order to identify how, at eight years  from the OCDE diagnoses (1997) and at five from de PISA application (2000), with an emphasis on reading, population continues showing negative outcomes.

 The proposal  is to stop waiting for public politics before this urgent need and  realize a reflexive and responsible attitude must be adopted with ourselves and with the population with which we are relating, either because working or family reason; with the certitude that we are capable to build a better “tomorrow”.
