Education in USA and Mexico


Undoubtedly the education is a crucial factor that facilitates the social and economical development in any country. Education means the opportunity of crossing the boundaries of the lag. The purpose of this essay is to show the vision of education in both countries talking about elementary school and also comment the three important aspects that make very different the education in the USA and Mexico. The three main differences are: The types of buildings, facilities in the school and finally the teacher and the techniques that they apply in the classroom.

The aspect that all the world can notice about education in these countries are the types of buildings. Firstly in USA all the elementary schools are modern, comfortable taking about furniture and classrooms and big also is important to mention that in USA all the states have the enough school that cover perfectly the demand for it students. On the other hand, in Mexico most of the schools are very old, obviously the furniture are also old and the classrooms are commonly in bad conditions. In addition, the schools are small and there are not in some parts of the country that means lack of opportunities for the Mexican citizens in scholar age.

Another important aspect that has close relationship with the previous paragraph, are the facilities that we can find in the elementary schools of both countries. Talking about USA as a result of the modernity of it elementary schools, all the schools are well equipped in science laboratories, gym with the necessary gym gear, in order to students develop satisfactorily their physical abilities and one especial classroom for each educational purpose. In contrast in Mexico as I mention before the lack of modernity in the classrooms, in most of the elementary schools of Mexico there are not science laboratories, the place where the students practice sports are a open place that does not promote the development of their physical abilities, because sometimes there are only the place and there is not the necessary material for practicing sports and one classroom is turn on multiple purpose classroom for lack of space.

Comparing these aspects, another aspect that is very important to mention is the teacher techniques that the teachers of USA and Mexico apply in the classroom. In USA the teacher promotes the independent thinking of the students, the students know how research and form conclusions from their researches The students look for the best way of learning according to their necessities and develop their critical thinking by themselves. The teacher just acts as a guide not as a director of the scholar activities. On the contrary in Mexico, most of the teachers do not promote independent thinking from the students, In Mexico, since elementary school to some students dislike to research and it is very hard for them to find conclusions, because the teachers in this scholar grade act as providers of the information and directors of the activities in the classroom.

As a conclusion, is important to mention that the education is the main tool for the successful development of one country. Obviously the differences shown in this essay will widen our view about that. Each country can improve their educational system according to their necessities and goals. It is very sad that in our country happens this talking about education. For this reason it is very important work very hard everyday in order to improve our schools and provide to our students the elemental opportunities for their personal development something that in the future our country will thanks.
