Tóm tắt
The commonalities between statements are not accidental; for decades, many Mexican universities have sought to offer an education that goes beyond a narrow preparation for a specific profession and that includes aspects such as preparing students for citizenship or for democracy. Thus, the topics that surround the debate on liberal education in other countries have been very present in discussions and reforms in Mexico, albeit under other banners, such as “general education.?? But while the aims stated by several Mexican universities might be similar to those of other countries and universities, the solutions, reforms, and educational practices they have adopted-both in upper secondary schools and in higher education-may have worked out very differently. Moreover, in a highly diversified and deregulated system, each institution seems to have come up with its own answers. In this chapter, we inventory these different institutional answers regarding the observed need for a more general education. We also explore the underlying logic of these answers-their history and philosophy. And finally, we discuss whether a liberal, or general, education is desirable, feasible, and perhaps even unavoidable, considering both the national and international contexts. © 2012 Taylor & Francis.
