Abstract

The objective of this work is to clarify the problem and find solutions to align in some way the academic models of the secondary and higher education institutions located in the central highlands of the state of Sonora, such as the Universidad de la Sierra and the CBTA 53, as well as to confront the culture of the inhabitants in view of the importance of young people pursuing a degree in that region.

The educational institutions mentioned above are located in the same geographic and educational area of ​​influence, in fact, in the same town, in the northeast area of ​​the state of Sonora.

The Sierra of Sonora had always intended to have a higher education school. By justifying the town of Moctezuma as a geographically strategic point, and thanks to the efforts made by the governor in office, the Universidad de la Sierra opened its doors to the students of the mountains in August 2002.

To analyze the functioning of an educational institution in the rural sector, a wide range of factors should be taken into account; However, in this work it will be key to analyze the disarticulation and incongruity of the educational models of a high school institution, in relation to another higher education institution, which serve as unique educational options for the population of Moctezuma Sonora and its surroundings. In addition, the cultural aspect, which reflects a regional behavior of the inhabitants of the region.

The Universidad de la Sierra is located in the mountainous region of the state of Sonora, in the municipality of Moctezuma, having an area of ​​influence of more than 30 municipalities in this area, which did not have a higher education institution until recently.
