THE CONSTITUTIONAL THIRD PARTY UNDER DEBATE
Synopsis
Secular, free, compulsory, comprehensive, scientific, democratic, nationalist, and quality education, as values for public education that have been incorporated and evolved over time, have given meaning and direction to government action for much of the century since the Mexican Constitution of 1917 was enacted; however, they still seem distant and insufficient to configure the educational project of future Mexico. Therefore, the debate on the right to education, although it has been present among specialists and academics for several decades, seems more relevant today, in the face of the difficulties and controversies that the 2013 education reform has faced.
The centenary of Article 3 of the Constitution is a symbolic framework that provides the opportunity to compile the current state of the debate, which has been achieved thanks to the collaboration between the National Pedagogical University, the Latin American Faculty of Social Sciences-Mexico (FLACSO) and the Education Commission of the Senate of the Republic, 63rd Legislature, which also opens up the possibility for permanent reflection on the challenges that this important human right will have to face in the coming years.
To provide a fair reflection of the national debate, plurality was established as one of the main objectives of this work. The contributions included were developed by their authors, in response to a call from the National Pedagogical University and the Education Commission of the Senate of the Republic, 63rd Legislature, seeking that anyone interested in the subject who had something to contribute to the debate could do so, always within a framework of tolerance for the right of others to dissent, a condition that the participating authors showed in a high example of capacity for dialogue and debate among peers, where totalizing positions gave way to critical reflection.
