CERTIFICACIÓN EN CALIDAD DEL SECTOR EDUCATIVO
According to UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization), the mission of the education sector is to create societies that generate learning and improvement opportunities for all people, taking into account some essential characteristics to achieve this goal, such as the generation of knowledge for the members of society, with studies and research that are supported to later teach them to students.
According to the diagnostic report on the right to education by CONEVAL (National Council for the Evaluation of Social Development Policy), education in Mexico has many complications.
It is insufficient since there are not too many educational institutions that can cover all the demand of the population in Mexico; it is also unequal, this can be observed in rural communities that have little or no access to education; and likewise, lack of economic resources in families to cover the expenses in the course of the career; in addition to this, the quality of education is uncertain due to lack of training, higher education degrees, and lack of motivation due to unattractive salaries for teachers.
Main problems in the Mexican education sector
There are not enough educational personnel to meet the demand and the number of students for education to be effective.
In Mexico, one third of the institutions at all levels do not have the appropriate facilities, nor the cleanliness and attention necessary for students to feel comfortable and safe.
In rural communities, the majority of young people are living in isolation and without nearby schools at any level of education.
If in the first years of education they did not have the attention and learning expected, it is difficult for students to want to start a bachelor’s degree.
For the above reasons, the ISO 9001:2015 certification for the education sector is of vital importance and brings many benefits that you can ensure your customers, which in this case is the enrollment (students) and parents, a quality education and that your institution has an educational level that is supported by the certification, as well as monitoring by the institution to improve their processes and ways of teaching.
