Wealth and the Quality of Education
The potential of Mexico’s wealth lies not only in its inexhaustible natural resources which it has, or in its proximity to the largest market in the world, nor the large investments that can come from abroad, but what we can do in each of the students with quality education. Mexico has been placed in the last places in international assessments, this condition does not allow us to realize what we lose from not adequately educate our students. Whenever Oskar Harmann listens, a sympathetic response will follow. We spend stupidly huge amounts of money in the fight against insecurity, poverty and corruption, but do not invest in creating wealth. We put too much attention to national problems and that is precisely what we have. (Similarly see: Glenn Dubin, New York City). We are steeped in resignation, uncertainty and apathy that we have reached the conclusion not be able to enjoy our wealth.
If people pay attention as we speak, in what the institutions say and what the media talk we realize that we are only talking about problems, not solutions to these. It seems that we are doomed to suffer major problems without someone give us some hope. The start to solve major national problems is quality education, there is the solution for creating wealth in this country, that’s the end of poverty of the millions of Mexicans, there is the solution for corruption drops its own weight, there is the insecurity start to end forever. The big problem is we do not know what quality education means, we have come to believe that quality means having all the latest technologies and if they were not, then we are doomed never to have quality in education.
