Another reason to expose the hypocrisy of the Bicentenary of "independence" of Mexico is what is currently happening with education.
Universities and colleges in Mexico and around the world are subjected to external changes, changes that come from the bowels of the process of globalization (economic interdependence between nations), which are immersed not only the fields of economics and politics but the social terrain, culture and education. These factors change, they tend towards training of professionals that will be embedded in the social and economic demands current condition and educational and rethinking educational models, ie the universities should be renewed, reversed itself and training objectives respond to changes that are generated in the contemporary world social dynamics. But what happens when this goes against the people and the future of a nation? Why these changes should aim to progress and to solve national problems in terms of social and economic development, they become excuses so that a few take advantage (as usual)?
I proudly graduated from the National Polytechnic Institute and it hurts to know that the Mexican government (a faithful servant of rapacious capitalists and foreign interests) is destroying this great institution. a new educational model is being applied in some schools in the IPN, and this is hardly good news.
We can summarize this enormous grievance as follows: 1 .- The top-level graduates will not earn bachelor's degrees, but higher technician (as is the case of engineering) and as a result wages offered in the labor market will be even lower; 2 .- The privatization of secondary and higher education in public educational institutions is imminent (so that those who do not have sufficient resources will not have access to education), and 3 .- The economic, scientific, technological, and especially the training of professionals capable of innovation and new challenges, all of which are vital to national progress, will be abysmally behind (yes, unlikely that may seem even more) .
"Training in the institution, through the work of the institution, may not raise problems when it comes to technical training, the learning of practical skills ... But when training staff concerning the structure, in the manner of perceiving, feeling, judging, the contradiction is flagrant "(Gilles Ferry, 1997)
The Constitution of 1917 (written after the Revolution), which is based on that of 1857 (due to Independence), guarantees in its Article 3 ° "Everyone has the right to receive education." And I quote below what he says in his Second Fraction:
"... II. The criteria that will guide the education based on the results of scientific progress, fight against ignorance and its effects, servitudes, fanaticism and prejudice.
Also:
a) shall be democratic, considering democracy not only as a legal structure and political regime, but as a way of life founded on constant economic, social and cultural life of people;
b) shall be national in-without hostility or exclusiveness, attend to the understanding of our problems, the use of our resources, to defend our political independence, the assurance our economic independence and the continuity and growth of our culture, and
c) contribute to better human relationships, both elements contribute to strengthening in the pupil, together with respect for the dignity and integrity of the family, the conviction of the general interest of society as by the care put into the ideals of fraternity and equal rights of all men, avoiding the privileges of race, religion, groups, sexes or individuals; ... "
" They better understand the inconsistency and falsehood of the discourse of the Bicentennial, and the reason for the slow death IPN and decent education in Mexico?
UPIICSA In schools like the new model came into force since the beginning of the semester (2010/02). The bachelor's degree can still be obtained, but the shift described above will surely happening little by little and are also significant and new approaches evident in the curriculum model of the careers that are taught in the unit. That is why it is vital to inform action.
face of all this is very sad to know that some colleagues still studying at the Polytechnic shown a frightening disdain, arguing that while they do not affects them (because the new model affects only newly admitted generations) there is no reason to protest or disagree. I think a disgrace to hear this from the mouths of those who have seen the change and do not understand or are ignorant of the reality of what is happening in the IPN.
There is a serious disinformation by the student community and alumni of the Polytechnic. It is noteworthy that in the IPN the authorities have given the job to confuse and cloud the view of the community, misinformation and justifying with false and "progressive" arguments the path that will take the IPN, all in the name of development and forefront of the institution, according to them.
For perspective a bit more extensive and detailed about all this, here is a link to the website of the CLEP-CEDEP (Struggle Committee of the Polytechnic Student-Student Committee for the Defense of Public Education).
I hope that this will generate some thought and help add unhappy consciousness. The welfare and future of ourselves (the people, our people, future generations and the workers, who are the majority) should not be trampled.
posthumous As will offer more information.
