Yes they should! But is possible to argue as why this should not be done. Corruption is not the best counter argument, thou (you can use it, but as GDM so nicely put it, is not a very logical one). It is hard to go against excellent state funded education for all, but I can think of a few things that could make it not practical or ideal: Estate bureaucracy is the most obvious one (the argument goes in the same line of the one about corruption) as it would make it extremely hard to oversee, maintain and especially change something (or fix an obvious problem) mid term having to go trough all the red tape and proper channels of state funded initiatives. I don't know how that works in Mexico, but if is anything like Brazil and USA it would be a huge problem and it would cost a shit load of money.
The most serious problem I see, that really goes against state funded education is those relative to curriculum. In such scenario who would decide what will be teach to children? In what extent an newly elected government would influence the curriculum? Would they give more emphasis to technical education or a more liberal one, and most importantly, why?
You can go from here, I wont do the damn thing for you, not free of charge at least :P
Buena suerte nena!
