Abstract: The article’s main contribution to the literature on Mexican education is its analysis of the country’s education policies, with a comparison of key economic indicators alongside aggregate trends in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, El Salvador, Uruguay, and Venezuela. Few studies have examined Mexico’s educational policies in this comparative context, making this work particularly valuable for economists, educationalists, and Mexico’s economic development sector. The empirical data and literature cited in support of the findings can be found in (Osiobe, 2019; 2020a; 2020b; 2020c). This is not a self-citation but an empirical and theoretical backing for the recommendations presented, rendering the study a valuable and informative project.
