So there is no part about private education and its relation to public education. That's pretty important. Mexico could have a private education system much better tor much worse than the public system as long as the public system is still excellent and equally accessible.
Something new for you to think about:
- How are we defining 'excellent' ? I suppose we could use the current 'best' countries' educational programs. We can also, from them, get the costs of those other countries' programs and use that in the comparisons I was talking about before. A sub-part of this cost comparison would include evaluating the tax increases that would likely result from this.
In general, arguing questions like this starts immediately from your interpretation of the question statement. Your might start your essay with a definition of terms (e.g. equal, excellent).
