Mexico agrees to revise teacher evaluation

The Mexican government will undertake a revision of the evaluation exam given to all teachers, which has been a focal point of protests, officials said Wednesday.

The most radical element of the teachers' union has been behind more than a month of highway blockades and other demonstrations especially in several southern states. Last month, a demonstration turned deadly when authorities moved to open a blockaded highway in Nochixtlan in Oaxaca.
