MEXICO CITY, Sept. 19 (Xinhua) -- Mexico still faces challenges resulting from last year's deadly earthquake, including the rebuilding of schools, the Mexican Institute for Competitiveness (IMCO) said Wednesday.

The public policy think tank said in a report that although the Mexican government has made headway in certain areas, it is still unable to restore the normal school system in some parts of the country.

"We do not know how many children and young people do not have access to education, how many are still in temporary schools or how many have been able to return to their facilities," the report said.

There are major discrepancies between the data reported by different government bodies for the same public program, it said, adding that IMCO had worked with federal authorities to solve the issue in the past six months.

"Local governments have a main responsibility for the disorder and opacity that still prevail," said the report.

On Sept. 19, 2017, a 7.1-magnitude earthquake struck central and southern Mexico, killing 369 people and destroying hundreds of buildings. Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto on Wednesday led a memorial to mark the first anniversary of the deadly quake.
