Holy crap Mexico is screwed up. The unions control the entire education system to the point that no one knows how many students or schools there are.
Here are some other highlights:
The law, passed on Monday, seeks to change a system in which teaching positions can be sold or inherited.
The legislation moves much of the control of the public education system to the federal government from the teachers' union, which has been led for 23 years by Elba Esther Gordillo. Under the old law, she hired and fired teachers.
