Education in Mexico.

Education in Mexico  is regulated by the secretariat of public education. Education standards are set by this Ministry at all levels except in "autonomous" universities chartered by the government, accreditation of private schools is accomplished by a mandatory approval and registration with this institution.

The 1917 constitution provides that education should avoid privileges of religion and that one religion or its members may not be given preference in education over another. Religious instruction is prohibited in public schools; however, religious associations are free to maintain private schools, which receive no public funds. Proof of Mexican citizenship is required to attend public schools for free.

In the same fashion to other education systems, education may be described in identifiable stages, such as Primary School, Junior High School, High School, Higher education, and Postgraduate education.
