As millions of students head back to school, we take a look at the ABCs of education in the region.   This past week, teachers protested Mexico’s overhaul of the public education system, even as more than 20 million Mexican students packed their mochilas with pencils and notebooks for school.

Hi! My name is Helen Balderama. After more than 10 years working on education projects in Asia and Europe, I moved to Canada in 2012, partly to reunite with family but also to get to know the international education field in North America. I am now based in Toronto, Ontario and I continue with my passion – International Education. On the side, I go on food adventures, capture random, everyday encounters and share information on Flipboard.
