National Agreement on Education
The ?National Agreement on Education? was an initiative implemented by the then transition team of the newly elected President, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, with the aim of getting to know the opinions and views of actors involved in the educational sector in order to improve the educational standards in Mexico. The initiative was conducted from August 27th to October 29th 2018, and included the implementation of presential forums in the 32 Mexican states. As a strategy to register citizen proposals on education, a website was launched and household interviews were conducted. The registration process to participate in this initiative was open to the general population, including parents, students, teachers, scholars and civil society organizations, among other actors.
