The federal Education Secretariat (SEP) is to announce today an 800-million-peso (US $44.5 million) National English Strategy that intends to produce high school graduates who are proficient in English in 20 years’ time.

The first step will be to recruit 1,020 English teachers and train 127 who are already in place at teacher training schools, known as normal schools.

An important element, not surprisingly, is that “all teachers must speak English,” something that is not currently the case as studies have found that many teachers assigned to give English classes have limited command of the language.

In 20 years’ time, high school graduates will be expected to have attained a B2 intermediate level, following the international standards of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFRL).

... To achieve its goals, the Education Secretariat will promote learning English throughout the entire educational trajectory of Mexican students, from preschool to high school.

English will not only be taught as a second language but through teaching other subjects in it as well.
