You have to jump through all of the hoops of SEP though.


And there are a LOT of hoops. I started the process a couple of years ago and decided, forget it. It only makes sense if you are going to stay in Mexico long term. Perhaps she was married to a Mexican, or was a naturalized citizen. Who knows. There isn't anything that specifically prohibits a non Mexican from applying, or working, but all of the requirements are focused on people with education in Mexico.


I always wonder what people mean by "SEP high school" Most high schools are accredited by the SEP, even language schools can get accredited by the SEP, but the Secretaria de Educacion Publica only manages Primarias and Secundarias. High schools might be run by the city (DF has many) a university (often called Prepas) another national or state non-profit organization (CONALEP is a national one, the Colegios de Bachilleres of each state are an example of that one) or a private foundation like La Salle, or a private for profit group like ICEL. Each institution has their own hiring requirements and the SEP oversees them and makes sure they meet certain minimum requirements to maintain their accreditation. One of the "hoops" that you would probably have to jump through to work at such a school would be to get a Cedula Profesional which is time consuming for people who have Mexican degrees and even more time consuming for people who have foreign degrees.

Diane Ravitch was just interviewed on NPR's morning edition last month.

The parallels were striking. The over-riding idea is that the corporate interests want to make education a consumer product because it's something every parent will buy if they have to.
