Wikipedia: The Secretariat of Public Education is the governmental department responsible for education and culture in Mexico and is headed by the Secretary of Public Education, a cabinet position analogous to the education ministers of other nations. The Secretariat was created on 25 September 1921 by President Álvaro Obregón based on a project presented by José Vasconcelos, then rector of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), who was sworn as its first Secretary on 12 October 1921. Its precursor, the Secretariat of Public Instruction and Fine Arts (Secretaría de Instrucción Pública y Bellas Artes), was circumscribed to Mexico City and a handful federal territories and had been suppressed by the original text of the 1917 Constitution, which delegated educational affairs to the Mexican municipalities.
