Resumen

A country's development is directly linked to the educational attainment of its people. In 2011, Mexico's basic educational level was extended from nine to 12 years of education (Secretaría de Gobernación, 2011). Access to and quality of basic education are foundational to undergraduate and graduate university education. According to the population census of 2010, of the children and youth (six to 14 years) who should attend elementary and middle education, 94.7 percent were enrolled in school. Of youth between 15 and 24 years, only 40.4 percent completed college (Instituto Nacional de Geografía e Informatica, 2010). The segment of the population with access to graduate studies in the country is much lower. Data from 2008-2009 show that nationwide enrollment in master's programs was 166,986 students, while in doctoral programs the enrollment was only 18,530 (Asociación Nacional de Universidades e Instituciones de Educación Superior, 2011). Doctoral education is a critical component in ensuring the human capital needed to advance knowledge and to create technology required to produce goods and services to address the needs of the country. The development of human capital reduces dependence on foreign technology and more readily fosters global collaborative relationships needed to tackle common problems. Likewise, doctoral graduates are the ideal agents to efficiently and effectively position the country in a globalized market, a characteristic of our modern economy. Globalization is a phenomenon that transcends all dimensions of human life, particularly education. Globalization compels us to think about an equivalent basic education to facilitate effective performance of graduates in any setting. Likewise, globalization puts extreme pressure on the need to increase the number of graduate students trained.
