The current government has inadequately addressed the educational challenges. While the pandemic has influenced student discipline and participation, it is not the sole culprit of educational lag. The historical emphasis on coverage and retention has overshadowed the assessment of learning quality, content assimilation, and skill development. Automatic promotion, based on the right to education, has led to the neglect of study discipline and cognitive assessment, essential for the formation of competent professionals.
It is crucial to recognize that we live in a globalized world, where economic, social, and cultural exchange is inevitable. However, the current administration has rejected the concept of competence in education, deeming it neoliberal. The educational reform of the Fourth Transformation set the goal of achieving “educational excellence” in the constitutional article 3. However, Mexico’s regression in PISA results worldwide confirms that this aspiration lacks effective practical implementation.
Let us bear in mind that competence not only drives individual development but also enables effective solutions to social problems. The current educational policy has neglected the promotion of competencies, leaving students without the necessary skills to face the challenges of the current technological and global world.
Educational regression is not only a consequence of the pandemic but also of educational policies that promote conformity and dismiss progress and science. A focus on improving education is essential for the development of the population and social progress. In this regard, the current administration should reconsider its stance and acknowledge that quality education is fundamental to the advancement of society.
In conclusion, the current situation requires a thorough evaluation and corrective measures. In addition to addressing the effects of the pandemic, it is essential to review and adjust educational policies to prioritize teaching quality, the development of competencies, and the preparation of students for the challenges of the 21st century.
]]>September 9, in restoring acquaintance of the center of Mérida, the most
important media in the State went to the convocation of the Movement "Democracy
it is for all" for a press conference. The objective was to give to know to the
civil society the convocation for the 1er Civic Forum with the topic "The
consolidation of the democracy it is responsibility from all" to take place the
next one September 30 from the 5:30 hours in the Chamber of Commerce in this
city.
The motivation of the organizers, among which I feel proud and committed to
share the same interest, it is to make be worth the opinion of the citizens in
the face of the insensibility of the political forces that they ignore the
fair birdcalls of justice and social attention.
For all the Mexicans we have known the problems and consequences in the
federal electoral process in this year. Still when it has been fulfilled the
whole legal order to pronounce who was Elect President, the threat of a
continuous latent uncertainty for a fight of power for the same power, without
caring the achievements and being erected a political force as the absolute
possessors of a truth, their own truth.
It is for them that in the consideration of the democratic paper that is
exemplary in Yucatan, we have made the decision of heading this movement that it listens to the citizenship in their interests and opinions. We make be
worth the right to the freedom of thinking and expression. We assume a
commitment for the tolerance that allows to create the dialogue space and
necessary consens in a democratic society.
"Democracy is for all" it is not a casual movement, it arises of a necessity
and very clear objectives. The main factor is to help, as profesionistas and
people that we give bill from what happens in the society, to look for the space
that allows to intend and to have positive influence in the definition of
political platforms for the next electoral process
It is not a movement to look for positions, neither to give pronouncements in
favor of a candidate. The generated documents will be given to all the political
participant forces in the electoral process. It is time that the citizens make
be worth our opinion and let us have the government that we deserve… it is
time of "Democracy it is for all"

The modern educator's task is not to prune the forests, but
watering the deserts.
Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) British Writer.
Of who should the responsibility of the education of the individual's values
be?
Among the years of 1996 and 1997 I had the necessity to fulfill an
investigation work to credit the corresponding subject in the Ability. In that
then, like until today, we discussed on the existence of a crisis of values in
the society. For such a reason, interested in the topic, I decided to explore
that topic in a systematic and objective way, what took me to a bibliographical
revision of a lot of value. In retrospective it is in the results that my
concern is configured to assist an area that is vital for the development of the
society, the formation of values.
I remember a small interview with Edgar Mason *, writer and political and
social analyst of that time, known by their comments in the journalists of
TVAzteca and journalistic columns in media forms. When asking him in a direct
way who considered that it should be the first formative instance of values, in
an immediate way he affirmed: "the first responsible in the education of the
values it is the family; however, like it has been neglected, the responsibility
relapses in the school"
To a decade of that statement, we cannot deny that the things if they have
changed, but non positive way. The school has not been able to take root in the
individual's moral, ethical or universal values formation that they dignify
its existence. It worries more about the education of individuals that they are
able to be introduced quickly to the productive life, for the technical manpower
that does without of the values and the attitudes in the person's
integration.
The educational reality of the country this very deteriorated one. Many lacks
exist, inclusive in the transmission of the basic knowledge that an educating
requires to be unwrapped in the society. All educator knows that is necessary to
have the base of the knowledge, it stops later, to develop the abilities and
attitudes, these concrete last manifestations of the values that it assumes as
own an individual. Therefore, the problem of the formation of values falls in an
abyss, of the one which, few they commit to look for alternative of
solution.
Do I reiterate the question that one decade asks I disturb myself, Of who
should the responsibility of the education of the individual's values be?
I believe firmly that that task and function corresponds him, without any
doubt margin, to the family, specifically to the progenitors, to dad and mom,
both committed ones with the initial formation of the children. It is not needed
to be educators or specialists of the education, alone coarse to be the first
ones that demonstrate the existence from the values to the children with the
example that like sponges capture a lot more than that that the atmosphere
consciously teaches them.
That is the premise that should sustain the formation of values. In the daily
life, with more example of life than you chat unconscious to lack practice, they
are the forms of taking to the experimentation of the values in the boy. The
formation of values for dialogue without the effective exemplification lacks
sense and few results it propitiates.
With all this I don't want to discharge the responsibility of the school, of
the formal system of education, in fomenting values, but their task should be
limited to reinforce what the children have learned at home.
