چکیده (انگلیسی):

Educational leadership in Mexico is an issue that was forgotten for decades, both in
its formal structure and professional development. It finally started to become
relevant in the context of the latest educational reform enacted in February 2013 and
it has been implemented gradually under an adverse atmosphere between its
supporters and some opponents that have pushed through peaceful and non-peaceful
social actions, for the government to soften and/or eradicate some of the measures of
the Education Reform. Specifically, the director’s function from the perspective
view of the Ministry of Education, is linked to the concept of school management, it
is seen as a “modern” supervisor and manager of education. However, Mexico is in
a process of professionalization of the management function, in order that school
directors and supervisors become agents of change and improvement of educational
quality in the country.
