We are approaching the end of the 2021-2022 school year, a particularly complicated one as almost all schools are returning to face-to-face classes and hybrid modalities must be balanced to support students, teachers, and families across Mexico.
We have seen millions of Mexican students drop out of school in the past year, a learning gap that is difficult to quantify, and inequities that are more visible than ever. Resources are available only to a few students and many suffer from a disadvantaged education system that is unable to support students in underserved contexts.
Despite the many challenges, Enseña por México has been able to support 171 schools in marginalized communities across 10 states through the incredible commitment and resilience of +200 Profesionales de Enseña por México (PEM), that have understood the need each educational community has and allied with principals, teachers, and primary caregivers to provide quality educational support to children and students from 0-19 years old. We are certain that PEM have made a significant impact in children's centers and schools through innovative support strategies.
With +800 alumni continuing their commitment to social justice, we are now recruiting the 10th generation of PEM for the school year 2022-2023 and we are happy to announce that we will be growing to 3 new states (Queretaro, Quintana Roo, and Veracruz). We know that the challenge is huge and we are working hard in developing local leadership that can transform the educational sector in favor of children and youth in disadvantaged communities.
Thank you for your support in this journey!
