Do Teachers In Oaxaca Teach?

Spent three weeks in Oaxaca last year. It is a great place but had continual teacher protests. I believe this is the worst place for education in Mexico based on the teachers. Understand there are few qualifications and the positions are passed down, not earned. A big problem in Oaxaca but still a lovely part of Mexico.

The Reforma Educativa that was passed by el Congreso in 2012-2013 as part of Presidente Enrique Peña Nieto's "Pacto por México" addresses the issue of teacher competency and eliminates the inheritance or sale of teaching positions. That's what's extraordinary about the news Mexalberta posted. Though it isn't a done deal, if the Oaxaca teachers and their union get their way it would be a huge blow to the intent of the Reforma Educativa. Teachers have been protesting this since long before it was a reform. For years and years teachers of Oaxaca as well as to a lesser degree the rest of the country have been wild-eyed about even discussing this reform, much less implementing it or the part of the reform that deals with teacher competency.

The plot thickens!
