The Management of School Coexistence: an Approximation from Lines of Educational Policy in México

Abstract

Managing school coexistence from lines of educational policy in Mexico is approached through comprehensive analysis of insertion of the coexistence management category as an emerging field under construction. Current orientational, normative and administrative instruments are identified and analyzed through a documental analysis of coexistence management in the country and a distinction is made between conceptualizations, strategies and actions proposed as structural elements of the education policy agenda. Challenges are found, related mainly to the existence of multiple objectives among different outlines and a lack of distinction among basic theoretical perspectives, which leads to difficulties in specifications regarding the means for its management. A line of opportunity related to a current state of transition between the focus on security and training is also perceived.
