Description
Résumé:The Secretariat of Public Education (SEP) implemented a pilot project known as the Program for Strengthening and Direct Investment in Schools (PEC-FIDE), the purpose of which was to address the problem of inequity in academic achievement and offer a solution to the obstacles in access to financing for vulnerable communities. This paper is an analysis of the implementation of a specific education program within the context of ongoing reform in Mexico, but also an opportunity to refelect upon topics such as school autonomy and the strengthening of management skills. The basis for this work is an exploratory study that drew its main source of information from educational actors who participated in the PEC-FIDE. It is not so much the financial resources themselves, but the ways in which these resources are used that open up possibilities of change in certain educational practices and alternatives to address specific problems in educational communities.
