SEP and Women’s Ministry Launch Mandatory National Guidelines to Address Violence in Upper-Secondary Schools

Officials frame the policy as key to safer campuses, higher retention, and gender‑sensitive support.

Overview

  • Education Secretary Mario Delgado and Women’s Secretary Citlalli Hernández presented the guidelines at CETIS No. 10 and signed an institutional pledge to issue, disseminate and apply them.
  • The framework is mandatory nationwide for upper‑secondary education and sets procedures to prevent, respond to and eradicate school violence, according to Subsecretary Tania Rodríguez.
  • Authorities said the goal is to create respectful, inclusive campuses that build student support networks and curb sexism, machismo, racism and classism.
  • SEP linked unsafe school climates to dropout, noting students often leave when they do not feel comfortable or secure.
  • The full document was published online for public consultation, and a CETIS 10 student said it provides clear guidance on where to go and whom to contact for help.
