Discuss the impact of the Mexican Revolution on women and education.

The question requires that candidates offer a considered and balanced review of the impact of the Mexican Revolution on both women and education. Results may extend beyond the timeframe but they must be clearly linked to the issue raised in the question. Candidates may offer equal coverage of women and education or they may prioritize their discussion of one. However, both aspects will be a feature of the response. Candidates may discuss if women bore a significant role during the Revolution, as soldaderas. Candidates may also discuss if the Revolution provided women with greater political, economic and labour rights; or discuss whether gender roles were effectively transformed during the revolution. For the case of education, candidates may argue that the revolution expanded secular educational opportunities to the masses; but discuss if achievements were long-standing after the repel of socialist education during the 1940s. Candidates’ opinions or conclusions will be presented clearly and supported by appropriate evidence.

The impact of the Mexican Revolution on women and education was selected by only a few candidates. Knowledge was mostly represented by vague and generalized description, often lacking detailed evidence and with a tendency to consider the demand of the question as 'the impact on women's education.'
