40% of Mexico’s public schools run without water, power or decent toilets
Four in ten public schools in Mexico operate with at least one essential service missing: water, power or toilets. Among private schools, 8%. Same city, same children, five times the odds of learning without a decent bathroom.
Parents feel it on the first day of class, and remember it every time they compare facilities. It is not a sales pitch. It is the reason a family that can afford to pay, pays.
When was the last time you walked into a public school bathroom?
