Abstract
Despite the discourse about education as a right within the paradigm of learning throughout life, the obstacles for youth and adult education (YAE) in Mexico have limited its entire development. Thus there are million people without access to education, mainly those in more vulnerable situations. Analysing YAE at the macrolevel from the policy network perspective (Peterson, 2003), this chapter explains how YAE has been developed, implemented and monitored in the first years of the twenty-first century, indicating that YAE programmes are mainly produced and implemented in a top-down scheme characterized by Mexican institutions. This chapter demonstrates that despite its significance, the field has remained isolated, with the difficulty of YAE in responding in terms of provision, quality and equity to the mandated political demands.
