The McKinsey&company report “How the world´s most improved school systems keep getting better” analyses the experiences of 20 school systems from all parts of the world that have achieved significant, sustained, and widespread gains, as measured by nation and international assessments from 1980 onwards.
This report has been done with the conviction that education is the key to societal and global productivity and personal and social well-being. That is why the most common thing in these 20 schools is that their country finds education as the most important thing in the national agenda.
Although these successful schools have a lot of interventions in common, each one starts from a different point and faces different expectations. There are five main important clusters I identified that make these schools, improve even more every day:
1. High skilled educators.
2. Appropriate reward and remuneration structure for teachers and principals.
3. Revising curriculum and standard
4. Assess students
5. Publication of policy documents

These 5 points are clearly contextualized on the 20 schools, responding to global demands and using high tech evolution.
Comparing to Mexico; we have not succeeded in the goal of building together society-government a efficient school system, and we can prove it with PISA´s results comparing to others around the world. Nevertheless we are hungry of effectiveness. Taking advantage of this economic crisis is our best way to follow the examples of successful educational systems, not copying them but adapting them to our context and race.
It is as simple as doing our job as a roll-player (parent, student, teacher, principal, sibling, governor etcetera) facing our responsibility as a citizen of this country to improve and take part of this special key of national development known as education.
