Education and neoliberalism in Yucatan, Mexico

In: Anuac, Band 5, Heft 1, S. 59-62

Abstract

Under neoliberalism, at least in Mexico, education has been recast as a service that is to be sold for money, and not as a right of all Mexicans. The economy itself is now seen as a services economy, where everything is expected to make money. Here we reflect on some of the implications of current education reforms on our work at the Autonomous University of Yucatan.
