The superior middle school is a fundamental stage in which educative processes are not limited to certain established thematic or academic scopes. Its development and growth during the twentieth century and its subsequent consolidation allow us to see an education system that recognizes the learning needs, affect and desire for autonomy of a young person between the ages of 15 and 18. Knowing the evolution of the superior middle school level in our country will allow us to evaluate the options for preparation for opportunities available in contemporary Mexican society.—Clío TV
