Buying and selling of teacher positions in Mexico

˙ PREAL Blog

We are pleased to share with you a column by Jeffrey Puryear, PREAL’s co-director, which was published on November 24 in the Latin America Advisor—the daily publication of the Inter-American Dialogue.

In his column, Puryear discusses the implications of a reform in Mexico that would hire and assign teachers in the public school system based on merit. As Puryear argues, this reform has sparked a debate on the buying and selling of teacher positions—a practice that, until recently, public school teachers in Mexico took for granted.
