Based on a historical and theoretical review of the foundations of School cooperatives and their relationship with Co-op education, this article highlights their relevance as a means to solve the educational problem in Mexico characterized by the lack of adaptation of their guidelines towards the needs of infants and adolescents, sectors unprotected within the framework of neoliberal policies. The current socio-economic crisis in the country requires that basic schools develop individuals who are responsive to the needs of their communities and contribute to reducing the gaps between the education offered by formal education systems and local and productive needs. Counterpointing the experiences of Argentina and Canada, this inquiry exposes the way in which school cooperatives in Mexico reached their raise in the 1930s and found their decline in the face of government lack of protection and the subsequent entrenchment of neoliberalism. It is thus proposed that the legal reactivation of these organizations has the potential to contribute to the development of individuals in solidarity, human and transformative values for the achievement of a fairer social and economic model. Reincorporation will be possible from the joint action between universities, the cooperative movement, and government entities.
