(1970-1976)
Between 1971 and 1981, the Mexican economy grew at an average annual rate of 6.7%.
in real terms and 3.7% per capita. The engine of growth was, first,
high fiscal deficit and then the oil boom. The agricultural sector continued
losing importance in national production. The industry grew slightly and
their participation gained two percentage points. The primary sector lost through
del secondary.
What happened during Echeverría's six-year term was that the uncontrolled public spending
began to generate pressures on the budget balance that eventually
they became unmanageable. Healthy public finances were the condition
essential to maintain a stable exchange rate which, in turn, was the
key at that time to maintain a low inflation. These conditions
they were the ones that generated a high investment during the Stabilizing Development

Despite the fact that the budget for the education sector is one of the highest that
assigns the federation around 4% of GDP value to the educational system not
advances at the desired pace, due to different factors and the growth of the
school population, however this increasingly demands the implementation of a reform
educational according to the characteristics of the country. In 1970, at the beginning of the
administration, Engineer Víctor Bravo Ahuja, Secretary of Public Education, observes
the priority problems and raises the need for reform, with approval
from the President of the Republic, which is summarized in the following points:
Educational Planning
The Educational Reform was launched in early 1973, and it focuses on:
The administration of Luis Echeverría (1970-1976) showed from the beginning its
interest in improving the educational system and launched a Commission
Coordinator of the Educational Reform to diversify educational services,
increase the number of schools and reform the curricula. The reform of
this period was reflected in the publication of a new Federal Education Law
in 1973 replaced the Organic Law of Public Education of 1941. This
new law adopted the definition of education as an institution of the common good and
organized the national education system to establish new foundations that

College of Sciences and Humanities (CCH), the College of Baccalaureate and the Council
National Council of Science and Technology (CONACYT). Likewise, the SEP modified its
organic structure and established the Undersecretariat of Planning and Coordination

the creation of 39 decentralized service units in the nine regions in

As a second priority of the PNE, the objective of linking education was highlighted.
terminal with the production needs for which it was necessary
develop programs for higher technical education. In this area, it stood out the
creation of the National College of Technical Professional Education (CONALEP) in
1979. The third priority of the PNE referred to the momentum provided by the government
to raise the quality of education, a goal that was achieved with a better
training for teachers thanks to the creation in 1978 of the University
National Pedagogical.
Another priority of the PNE was to improve the efficiency of the education service.
which was supposed to advance in the area of internal organization of the SEP and the
deconcentration of activities through the establishment of 31 delegations
in the federal entities. Likewise, progress was made in the design and implementation
of a general framework to coordinate and plan higher education. In 1976 the
SEP created the General Coordination of Higher Education, Science, and Technology.
As a complement to this action, the National Law was enacted in 1978.

National Council for the Planning of Higher Education (CONPES).
Since the beginning of 1970, a global crisis in the Mexican countryside becomes evident,
which is characterized by a decrease in food production levels and by a
peasant insurgency redistribution of lands, and the establishment of
best prices for the guarantee and economic development of its members.
By 1974, 17.3% of the total public investment was invested, for 1975 it
increased to 20% that were allocated to irrigation works and expansion
rehabilitation of irrigation districts in addition to soil conservation etc... The
agricultural credit also increased, from 1970 to 1975 by 23% and for
1976 to 46.6%.
The increase in guarantee prices for corn, beans, and wheat was a

rural population whose main food is corn.

THE DEVALUATION
The fiscal deficit of the annual budget of income and expenses of the federation
The slow evolution of GDP and the increase in inflation were the result of the
policies adopted during the six-year term in economic matters that culminated with a
the escalation of prices at the international level starting in 1973, which shook even more
the national economy. The decline of GDP, especially starting from 1974, is
related to the stagnation of private investment resulting from the a
income concentration that fosters fiscal deficit and external imbalance.
