Abstract
The Secretary of Public Education’s rhetoric asserts as key element of the last educational reform, the modification made on articles 30 and 73 of the Mexican Constitution. However, these changes have been oriented towards educational practice but rather focused on labor reforms. These have been enforced not only by the Mexican government, but also by international organisms such as the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) through a complex process that can be traced back to the last decade, and which culminated in the 2013 Constitutional changes. The following article reviews the connections among the Mexican State, the policies pushed by the OECD, and the opposition to these modifications proposed by the dissident teachers of the Coordinadora Nacional de Trabajadores de la Educacion (CNTE). The article reviews: 1) An analysis of OECD’s labor policies, 2) the progress of these policies until the Alianza por la Calidad de la Educacion (ACE) in 2008; and finally, 3) the Mexican Constitution modification of the two cited articles.
