There are multiple concerns around the new free textbooks from the Ministry of Public Education (SEP), for this return to school, all coming from different niches, but with similar objectives, such as the ideological charge through specific words and terms.
The deficiencies in the teaching method of some disciplines, such as Mathematics or Spanish; as well as the lack of an educational program that supports its content, turn on alerts for parents and teachers.
Could the start of the school year be suspended for textbooks?
Yadira Medina Alcántara, judge of the Third District Court for Administrative Matters of Mexico City, pointed out in her ruling that the amparo does not prevent students from receiving educational materials.
“It does not suspend nor should it prevent the edition and timely delivery of textbooks for the 2023-2024 school year that are in accordance with the programs and study plans,” reads the judicial resolution where it also issued measures in the event that it is completely stop the distribution, where the SEP must guarantee the use of educational materials from the previous school year in order not to affect classes.
“If these free plans, programs and textbooks have not been approved in accordance with the respective regulations, they may print and distribute the approved textbooks for the immediately preceding school year (2022-2023),” it indicates.
Why is there controversy over the new SEP books?
The situation faced by the SEP and the distribution of its free textbooks is due to the various claims due to the way in which they were prepared.
“We do not know the study plans and programs. This is a very important fault. How were the books made if there was no previously established plan and program?” Maldonado expressed for Hechos AM, since he questioned the way in which the texts were developed, beyond the problems that teachers will also face.
Who made the new SEP textbooks?
The new books of the SEP had the collaboration of characters such as Marx Arriaga Navarro, Sadi Arturo Loaiza, the deputy director of educational materials of the SEP who used to be an official of the dictatorship of Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela and Luciano Concheiro Bórquez, undersecretary of Higher Education.
