Mexico's dissident teachers' movement has stepped up its protests in recent days against President Enrique Peña Nieto's education reforms. The National Teachers Coordinating Committee (CNTE) charges that the reforms, which many believe were hastily implemented under pressure for corporate interests, are a step toward privatizing education and undermining labor rights. Authorities had suspended the controversial teacher evaluations, which critics charge fail to take regional different and poverty levels into account, right before the June 7 mid-terms elections to defuse the movement to boycott the vote, and immediately reinstated them.
