Education is one of the most powerful tools for expanding opportunities, reducing inequality, and strengthening social mobility. Through Mexico Evalúa’s Education Program, we produce evidence and policy recommendations to help children and young people learn more, stay in school, and build complete educational pathways from early childhood through their transition into the workforce. To achieve this, we combine data analysis, field research, interviews, surveys, and ongoing dialogue with government officials, educators, students, families, civil society organizations, and the private sector. Our work seeks to understand and address the education system’s most pressing challenges, including learning gaps, classroom barriers, inadequate school infrastructure, the disconnect between education and employment, and weak institutional coordination. Based on evidence, we develop concrete recommendations to improve learning outcomes, strengthen education programs, make better use of public resources, improve school conditions, and move the country toward a more equitable, relevant, and high-quality education system.
Cita options for the Education area “School is where Mexico decides whether to reproduce its inequalities or open pathways to overcome them. At Mexico Evalúa, we work to ensure that every girl, boy, and young person has a real opportunity to learn, stay in school, and build a future.” “Education is too important to be left to inertia. Mexico needs evidence, coordination, and public commitment so that every student finds in school not only a place to attend, but a reason to stay.” Dra. Mariana Campos, Directora General

Policy Initiatives
Why does our policy work matter?
Aprender Parejo
Aprender Parejo's impact lies in moving beyond a broad diagnosis of the education system to organize an agenda around educational challenges that are often addressed in isolation. By connecting learning outcomes, educational pathways, school infrastructure, skills development, and governance, the project provides a comprehensive view of what must change for education to truly expand opportunities for children and young people. Its policy impact comes from translating evidence into clear messages, practical recommendations, and meaningful dialogue with public authorities, helping shape both public debate and education policy decisions at the federal and state levels.
The Hidden Cost of the Teachers' Retirement Reform
This project demonstrated that pension policy decisions affect not only public finances, but also the resources available to improve schools, expand access, strengthen learning, and support future generations of students. Its policy impact lies in fostering an essential conversation about fiscal sustainability, intergenerational equity, and public spending priorities, linking pension policy with its direct consequences for the future of education in Mexico.
