Abstract

Virtual education in Mexico, through the National System of Technological Higher Education (SNEST), is still insipid. Made of centralized and decentralized institutions, it is the base of the technical and industrial growth of Mexico. It was expected that due to their technical nature, the system would adapt an educational project based on high technology, it has not happened yet. In spite of this and facing other problems, there are some successful initiatives, the majority of them informal and self-managed that lead us to believe that, in the short run, virtual education will be one of the educational system strengths.
