Esta obra explora en qué medida los cambios demográficos, sociales y políticos de la coyuntura actual están afectando, al mismo tiempo que abriendo oportunidades, al sistema de educación superior del país. Los autores proponen distintos planos analíticos en esa exploración, desde el análisis de indicadores estadísticos que reflejan la intersección entre las variables sociales de contexto y las educativas, hasta la consideración de los posibles efectos de la transición política en el sistema de pactos entre la universidad, la sociedad y el estado del México contemporáneo.

This chapter is comprised of four sections. The first considers the characteristics of “knowledge society” and the educational changes that developing countries must undertake if they are ever to close the gap with the industrialized world. The next section assesses secondary edu-cation in Mexico, and the third examines the higher educational system. The final part offers a series of reflections on the tendencies that we are now witnessing, outlining the changes that are required to achieve better articulation between middle and higher education policy and Mexico’s options for growth and development in the near future.
