This document is an English-language abstract (approximately 1,500 words) of two booklets on Mexican educational reform. The first booklet cites the parts of the Mexican Constitution dealing with education, the legal foundation of Mexican education, stipulating that it shall be universal, democratic, national, compulsory, free and immune from prejudices and fanaticism. It quotes from a President's report to parliament on the urgency of educational reform. The second booklet, which constitutes a working document for the group dealing with the educational system and its different levels and the factors promoting or hindering its efficiency, is divided into nine subsections: (1) educational research; (2) physical training; (3) educational; vocational, and occupational guidance; (4) out of school education; (5) aesthetic education; (6) ethico-social education; (7) modern communication media and education; (8) evaluation; (9) administration. Each of those topics is considered on each level of education. UNESCO and Minister of Education speeches are included in the second booklet. (Author/GDB)
