48% of private schools have no compensation plan for their admissions team
In the October 2026 edition, 48% of institutions have no compensation plan for the people who enroll students: 61% of primary schools and 39% of universities. 30% have a plan and are comfortable with it; 22% think it could be better.
Systems produce the result they were designed for. If whoever enrolls gets paid the same for five enrollments or fifty, the system is designed for a Monday reply. Aligning incentives is not an expense: it is the difference between an advisor who chases families and one who waits for them.
What does your admissions advisor gain when they enroll one more family? If the answer is “nothing,” you know why they reply late.

Where it comes from
As reported by the director in the Enrollment X-Ray: no plan / plan and comfortable / plan that could be better. Sample: 102 Enrollment X-Rays completed between March and October 2026 with owners and directors of 102 private institutions in 69 Mexican cities. These are institutions that requested the diagnostic, not the country. Median, not average: one school with 7,000 students skews the average and makes it lie.
Median before average; no figure based on fewer than 5 institutions is published. Full methodology.
