Everyone knows, or at least have the idea that education in Mexico, is a business. And businesses are not based strictly on the quality of the products or services, but the profit you get, to buy or produce cheap, sell expensive. The business education is no exception in the trade process. Private education in Mexico has a long history, but in recent times private schools from pre-school level, even superior, have sprung up lots and, as a fruitful field mushrooms and spring wildflowers.
These have arisen mainly because the state has neglected the issue of education in Mexico. Public schools fail to meet the needs of Mexicans. It is noted at the beginning of each school, how parents have to camp for several days at the door of schools, to make room for their children.
Well, trying to avoid this, set the pre-registration system on the Internet, which has not been entirely effective because most schools demand, depleting its capabilities in just a few hours and parents are reluctant to enroll their children in remote or poor quality education.
The lack of spaces in educational institutions, is given up at the top level. Recently, the Rector of the Autonomous University of Baja California, announced that it will reject approximately 15 000 preparatorianos, precisely because of lack of space for them.
How unfortunate for those youths whose parents lack the resources to cover the cost of tuition at private schools, it will definitely lost their aspirations for improvement and will necessarily have to join the industry, receiving meager wages and few opportunities improvement over its entire life.
Many of these young people are at the expense of organized crime, which tricked income with attractive offers seemingly easy and fast. Although many of them end up dead or locked up in prison great part of their lives.
In principle, these 15 thousand young people will be rejected by the UABC, as the beginning of each school year, plus many others from other levels of education, are potential customers of the merchants of education, which will be on hunt them down at the gates of the schools that graduates, or those who reject them.
Tan is business education, which is investing large capital in this area. We speak here of a consortium called Aliat Universities, connoisseurs of the sector of private education credited to Carlos Slim, Mexico's richest in the world, which has 20 campuses, divided into four areas throughout Mexico, making them the Zona Centro, Zona Maya, Zur Zone and Northern Zone.
Among the universities that gathers and regentea is Universal, which has long been operating in Tijuana, but in the form of franchise, and, they say, already operates under Aliat firm. Also, it has already negotiated the purchase of Xochicalo.
Interestingly, while the larger educational enterprise flourish, the modest enterprises in the sector fell, from so-called "monsters" of education, with strong financial backing, reduce operating costs to a minimum and have the luxury of reducing their tuition, to attract customers, against which no small businesses can compete.
And since observed that education is not only a business but a negociazo be noted that this is evidence that the measure taken by President Calderon to allow a tax deduction for the cost of school fees, from the level pre-school to high school, not a democratic measure, but the intention to strengthen private enterprise, regardless that rewards Mexican mid-level up, which are able to send their children to private schools, who would return the cost thereof.
However, those familiar with the matter warned that the federal government will most expensive private education, public education and that is the wrong path, while being neglected by the national education system, which every day shows more their inability to meet the needs of Mexicans, and denotes deterioration and inefficiency.
Now, the question is not whether the educational needs of Mexicans covered by the system of public education or private sector engagement in this field, making it a lucrative business, but the future holds for young college graduates each year by bunch, with no hope of finding gainful employment and quality.
there definitely is the heart of the educational problem. While many Mexican youth are marginalized from the path of improvement, by way of education, precisely because of the lack of space in public institutions or lack of financial resources to enter private schools, that if they enter the university classroom both public and private, mostly converted end in educated unemployed or mere "thousand uses" due to the lack of formal employment.
In the end, unfortunately, these are two springs that feed the ranks of organized crime. Not everything is lack of values, but rather lack of opportunities. This, while noting that in the educational business, too many vivales profit with their "ducks schools, which operate with the complascencia and concealment from the authorities.
