Padrón de Calidad del Sistema Nacional de Educación Media Superior
The Quality Standards of the National System of Upper High School Education (pc-sinems) serves as an accreditation mechanism for schools offering High School education. This article aims to show the objective, purpose and requirements established by the pc-sinems, their relevant results in Morelos and some questions about their viability. The latest report on pc-sinems (2018) revealed, among other data, that only one in five schools nationwide has been certified. In Morelos, only 16% of the total number of campuses have managed to enter the register. The Autonomous University of the State of Morelos (uaem) has managed to incorporate four campuses into the register. Entering the Register represents a great effort of planning and financial expenditure that not all schools dare to carry out due to lack of interest in educational evaluation, disinformation, and the lack of dissemination of the results. Therefore, it would be important to continue questioning its existence and viability.
