Government Challenges and Financial Strengthening of Higher Education in Mexico

Summary/Abstract: The allocation of public resources can either enhance or hinder a nation’s educational development at any level. This research examines the direction of international commitment to education, the role of Higher Education Institutions, and the capture and implementation of funding sources. The text discusses education as a human right and a mechanism for physical, social, emotional, creative, and humanistic development within socio‐political precepts. The analysis focuses on 13 State Public Universities in Mexico, examining budgetary variations and their impact on students and institutions. The text contrasts discursive and factual information. Among the main findings, Mexican Higher Education has the highest budget allocation. However, the sources of financing do not fully cover citizen demand. Operating expenses include the equipment of classrooms, maintenance of buildings, and salary payments. They represent a symbolic and tangible investment in the talent and development of a historically vulnerable sector that governments should prioritize In conclusion, the consolidation of Higher Education and its universities must adhere to national and international requirements. This includes expanding the level of education, achieving upward social mobility, and improving the living conditions of Mexicans, regardless of their place of residence or educational environment.AbstractKeywords: education, higher education, educational financing, higher educati
