The reasons why the Mexican government wants to impose the education reform — even if it means killing people, as with the massacre in Nochixtlan by repressive state forces on June 19 — are rooted in economic objectives guided by international financial organizations. The reform, proposed by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, or OECD, under the OECD-Mexico Agreement to Improve the Quality of Education in Schools of Mexico, aims to lay the groundwork to shift education from being a state responsibility to instead being resolved in the realm of the financial market.
