"In Peru, levels A and B make up just 10.4% of households, with incomes far below their Mexican equivalents. Even so, 26% of Peruvian students attend private school, because level C and even level D families pay monthly fees of S/300 to S/600 for a reason no income survey captures: they decided public school wasn’t an option for their children, and adjusted everything else.",
"Mexico: 35% can pay, 10% enroll. Peru’s lesson is brutal and liberating at once: when a family believes their children’s education is worth it, they find a way to pay. The question was never whether they can. It’s who they pay, and why you rather than someone else."

"Official statistics report roughly 45,000 private basic-education schools in Mexico. The figure is inflated for a technical reason every owner knows: each level gets its own Clave de Centro de Trabajo (official school registration code), so a school with preschool, primary and middle school shows up three times. Corrected, the real universe is ~20,000 campuses with ~5.2 million students: 260 per school, the second-highest average in the region.",
"This isn’t a little school scraping by: it’s a 260-family operation with a professional payroll and two or three levels running in parallel. And that last phrase hides what almost no one names: two or three levels mean two or three simultaneous enrollment processes, which at most schools are handled by the same person who answers the phone and helps collect tuition."
