From a fight to democratize their union Local 22 to the resistance of the APPO – it’s been a tumultuous ride for teachers and their supporters in the State of Oaxaca. Being Mexico’s second poorest state where the average level of education completed is 6.4 years, is the teacher’s battle over more than just a pay dispute?  Get the breakdown of the teachers union struggle that began back in 1980 and ends with human rights violations against striking teachers.

About Mundo De Tenoch

Bienvenidos a mi mundo. Esta es tu casa for anything you need to know, or need to share about Mexico City and its surrounding 31 states -- from Augascalientes to Zacatecas! Share or learn about the diversity of the Mexican people and its wealth of regional cultures and rich possesions, from the Afro-Mexican of the Costa Chica in the states of Guerrero and Oaxaca, to the Capitaleño or Chilango of Mexico City, to the AmerIndio or indigenous peoples of Veracruz and Yucatan -- all will be celebrated here. As Mexican Philospher José Vasconcelos declared that race, nationality, and socio-economic conditions can transcend in the name of a universal era of humanity -- so too will MUNDO DE TENOCH attempt to transcend color, race and nationality and report on all of Mexico's splendor, as well as its struggles with self improvement and development, while keeping the focus on the strength of the Mexican as an entity of resolute and perservering group of people. I leave you with a qoute from Benito Juarez, whose fight to defend the rights of the nation's indigenous and poorest population, led him to become one of Mexico's greatest leader. "Among individuals, as among nations, respect for the rights of others is peace."
