More specifically, an agreement between the OECD and the Mexican Ministry of Education (Secrelaria de Education Publica, SEP) was established to support the design and implementation of education policy reforms to improve the quality and equity of the education system in Mexico (2008-2010). Support was requested specifically in the areas of teacher career paths, school management, leadership and social participation. Three types of contributions include comparative analysis, communications (workshops, conferences and country visits) and recommendations (presented in this report), delivered by the OECD Mexico Steering Group on School Management and Teacher Policy.
