The document summarizes an education initiative proposed for Mexico. The initiative would gather participants from various sectors of society to provide input on improving Mexico's public education system. Key aspects of the initiative include using technology to communicate with participants nationwide, holding open assemblies to seek citizens' views, and negotiating with the government and teachers unions, who are expected to initially oppose reforms to the current system. The overall goal is to involve a wide range of voices in working to address deficiencies in the quality and performance of Mexico's public education.
