| Summary: | The educational reform launched in 2013 in Mexico inaugurated a teachers’ evaluation system under the premise that it would improve the quality of education. After showing that behind this framing lies a political reform that reconfigured the corporatist pact between the State and Sindicato Nacional de Trabajadores de la Educación, this research measures the timeliness and consistency with which local congresses harmonized their education laws according to the national normative framework. Using legislative harmonization protocols, the article proposes a method to measure normative changes and identify challenges associated with the implementation of public policies. Results suggest that opposition to the educational reform in terms of normative frameworks is geographically clustered and offers some hypotheses explaining variations in the timeliness, compliance and consistency of the harmonization processes the reform experienced at subnational level. |
