Background of adult education

In Mexico, particularly after its independent life (1810), one of the constant concerns was to educate its inhabitants. The pedagogical methods of much of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries had given priority to reading over writing, which is why the few people who had access to education, in many cases were able to read but not always to write. The heterogeneity of the country, both in race and in languages, coupled with a geography of difficult access and mobility, and other variables, meant that attempts to increase the number of Mexicans capable of reading, writing or doing accounts were always very limited. It was not until the 20th century, especially the 1920s, that literacy efforts achieved major triumphs.

}

During the

Porfiriato (1876 - 1911)

Various efforts were made in favor of education, however, the high illiteracy rate (only 18% of the population was considered literate, according to data from the first population census of 1895); unstable economic conditions, derived from a recent past of internal wars and invasions; The norms and ideals that governed the roles that each man and woman should play according to their social stratum, among many other factors, were in many cases the impediment for those educational plans and programs not to reach the bulk of the population or to be circumscribed to the area of the urban centers of greater density, being a minority the one that was benefited. One of the relevant figures of the period was Justo Sierra Méndez, the first head of the Ministry of Public Instruction and Fine Arts (1905).

During the government of

Álvaro Obregón (1920 - 1924)

The Secretary of Public Education, José Vasconcelos (1921 - 1924), was an important actor in the implementation and development of plans to educate the greatest number of Mexicans. Rural Schools and Cultural Missions were founded in order to offer education to indigenous workers and peasants excluded from regular services. In those years a great social mobilization took place. This effort is pointed out as the beginning, in form, of the literacy campaigns.

During the government of

Manuel Ávila Camacho (1940 - 1946)

Different educational modalities were tried and being Jaime Torres Bodet, Secretary of Public Education (1943 - 1946), a literacy campaign was carried out similar to the one that Vasconcelos had previously undertaken. Laws on the matter were reformed and it was established that every person who could read had the obligation to teach someone who did not know.

In those years the Cultural Missions were reestablished, the constant reformulation of the laws relating to education to combat illiteracy, the creation of the General Directorate of Literacy and Extracurricular Education, the precision regarding the permanent nature of the literacy campaigns, as well as the creation of boarding schools, brigades, promotion communities and the Office of the Indigenous Affairs Procurator, beginning the development of a methodology and the elaboration of materials in the different indigenous languages, in order to extend literacy to this population.

At the end of the 1940s, the National Indigenous Institute was created as a consultative group that was to advise the federal government. In the same period, Mexico participated in the constitution of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and with its support two projects were carried out: the "Basic Education Pilot Test" and the creation of the Regional Cooperation Center for Adult Education in Latin America and the Caribbean ( CREFAL), based in Pátzcuaro, Michoacán, in 1950.

During the government of

Adolfo López Mateos (1958 - 1964)

The "11 Year Plan" was created and a primer was drawn up to make children and adults literate indistinctly, with the aim of teaching basic knowledge in a simple way. In this period the Free Textbook is instituted. For the first time, the media are participating in support of education, through radio and television programs.

During the government of

Gustavo Díaz Ordaz (1964 - 1970)

A new literacy campaign was carried out that gave priority to the education of illiterate children and children under 15 years of age; Adults up to 50 years of age were left in the background.

During the government of

Luis Echeverría Álvarez (1970-1976)

The Federal Education Law (1973) was drafted where the definition of education as an institution of the common good was adopted and the national educational system was organized to establish new bases that promoted the rights of all the country's inhabitants to receive education. The Ministry of Public Education through the General Directorate of Educational Planning promotes the open system among adults. This proposal was in charge of the Center for the Study of Advanced Means and Procedures of Education (CEMPAE) where the materials for the Primary Intensive for Adults (PRIAD) were developed. In 1975, the National Law on Adult Education was enacted, which regulates the education of individuals over 15 years of age who have not completed or completed primary or secondary school. This education was conceived as an out-of-school education, based on self-taught teaching and social solidarity.

During the government of

José López Portillo (1976-1982)

In 1978, the lawyer Fernando Solana started the project called "Education for All" whose objective was to assure all Mexicans the use of the alphabet and basic education to improve their quality of life for themselves. The project comprised three specific programs: Primary for all children; Castellanization and Adult Education.
Although adult education was a priority during the first years of the six-year term, the results were few significant, so in April 1981 the National Literacy Program (PRONALF) was launched. literacy training "The Generating Word", based on the ideas and proposals of Paulo Freire. On the other hand, the post-literacy stage was also monitored by giving written materials to adults and attempts were made to initiate them in an open primary program.

Documentation Center

In order to provide its staff with information, consultation, and dissemination of educational material services, in 1982, the National Institute for Adult Education (INEA) established a Documentation Center. In its beginnings, the Documentation Center was constituted with a collection of two thousand titles referring to literacy and primary education for young people and adults, as well as other documents on various fields of knowledge.

When the Center for the Study of Advanced Means and Procedures of Education (CEMPAE) disappeared "most of its collection was transferred to the Institute, increasing by just over 17 thousand volumes." With the CEMPAE donation, the collection that housed the Center diversified, which allowed the development of a general collection and the creation of a specialized collection in adult education, where the first edition of the Primary Intensive for Adults (PRIAD) materials came out, coordinated by Rosa Luz Alegría , as well as the series, collections and materials published by the INEA Through its more than 34 years of functions.

In 1997, as a posthumous tribute to the death of the Brazilian pedagogue Paulo Freire, the Documentation Center adopted his name.30 years after its creation, a semblance of the work of the National Institute for the Education of los Adultos, México, National Institute for Adult Education, nlinehttp://bibliotecadigital.conevyt.org.mx/inea/frames.asp?page=36&id=390
Currently the '' 'Documentation Center "Paulo Freire"' '' has more than 20,000 volumes, a significant number of which correspond to adult education and the rest to works on literature, art, geography and history.
