Edomex Authorizes Temporary Remote Classes in 58 Cold‑Risk Municipalities

The policy is preventive, limited to 58 municipalities identified as high or medium risk due to extreme cold.

Overview

  • Basic and upper‑secondary schools may switch from in‑person instruction to virtual, semi‑schooled, or non‑schooled formats when local conditions present a verified health risk.
  • Each campus that changes modality must notify the state’s General Directorates of Education with its justification, timeframe, and the academic measures it will use.
  • Schools are required to confirm digital access for their communities and provide alternatives such as printed materials, study guides, and asynchronous support where connectivity is limited.
  • Forecasts indicate near‑freezing overnight lows in Toluca and other highland zones, increasing the risk of respiratory illness among children and adolescents.
  • In‑person classes will resume once official temperature reports determine conditions have returned to safe levels.
