Transforming Education in Sonora

Abstract

The objectives of this article are twofold: to present a general and partial appreciation of education in Sonora, and to propose a set of ideas, also very broad, to guide the transformation of this education. Both objectives are set in relation to the next change of social representation and government in the state of Sonora. It is the responsibility of this representation and government to draw up programs and proposals to lead social directions and to agree with all citizens, in a democratic framework, the definition of social aspirations and the ways to achieve them. Education is central to this orientation: there is no social task more important than the formation and transformation of the members of society; in this the construction of the human, individual and social must be expressed, and around this, the other social processes must revolve to make it possible: the economic, the political, the cultural. The ideas presented here about education have the particularity of not referring only to school education and the so-called educational system; It is intended to cover the education that takes place in other institutions and social organizations, which we call social education. We will start with our appreciation of the school system.
