- Since its birth in 1884, throughout 120 years, the National Bank of Mexico has played a key role in the economic development of the country.

It resisted the grave crisis that was opened up by Fobaproa. In the new century Banamex was acquired by CitiGroup Bank and continues serving the development of the country.

- 150 years ago, the Ateneo Fuente became the first school of high-school education in our country, even before the Escuela Nacional Preparatoria (National Preparatory School) of Mexico City. Borned in November 1867 in the city of Saltillo, the Ateneo materialized the desire of the local liberal intellectuals to have a rational and modern education, to prepare the youngest from the North in the tasks imposed by the new republican and liberal order. 150 years after its founding, different generations of "atenistas" tell us the endearing stories of their alma mater.

- In Mexico, only around 20 percent of the nation's youth enroll in higher education and attend some form of college or university. This percentage is very low when compared to the 30 to 50 percent of students that enroll in higher education in other countries.

Not even the proliferation of private schools is a solution, given the low quality of many of these institutions, or the high tuition rates that they charge in order to ensure a better level of education.
