It reorganizes basic education around interdisciplinary programas sinteticos and community-rooted, project-based learning oriented toward the country's social and cultural context, and places explicit emphasis on humanist values, indigenous knowledge and reduced standardized testing in favor of ongoing formative assessment.

Is learning graded with a final mark under the Nueva Escuela Mexicana?
Not mainly. Formative evaluation is meant to accompany learning as a reflection, not to serve as a final grade.
The Nueva Escuela Mexicana treats assessment as formative evaluation. Official Mexican Ministry of Public Education presentation material says formative evaluation is not conceived as a final grade but as a reflection that accompanies students' learning and is itself part of the learning process. This fits the framework's wider move away from a testing-centered approach toward ongoing attention to how students learn.
