Government Presents Education Freedom Bill Reshaping Schools and Universities

Congress has no scheduled debate after the measure was excluded from the current extraordinary sessions.

Overview

  • The proposal would repeal the 2006 National Education Law and center governance on families, parent councils and greater school autonomy.
  • It enables financing-by-demand tools—such as vouchers, grants or tax credits—to be used at all levels to support free institutional choice.
  • Homeschooling, fully virtual and hybrid schooling are formally recognized, with mandatory registration and evaluations to accredit learning.
  • Accountability provisions include publishing school-level test results, a voluntary national secondary exit exam (ENES), and periodic teacher evaluations at least every four years.
  • Universities face stricter external and internal audits and a performance‑weighted funding scheme, while provinces assume primary funding for basic education and the draft drops prior plans for equal per‑pupil private funding and religious classes in state schools.
