Overview
- At a supervision event for CBTIS No. 293 in Tizayuca, Sheinbaum said roughly 52,000 additional students will enter upper-secondary education this year after about 35,000 new entrants in 2025.
- She detailed the bachillerato nacional, which sets a common core across public preparatorias and gives students both a SEP diploma and a university-backed certification.
- Government surveys identifying long commutes and weak engagement as key dropout drivers are guiding new campuses closer to homes and expansions of existing schools, alongside Benito Juárez scholarships.
- The CBTIS 293 project in Tizayuca is reported to span 14,000 m2 with two buildings, a 49.67 million peso investment, and an initial cohort of about 450 students.
- Sheinbaum said she will add a day to her state tours and reiterated there would be no setbacks in education, and the Tizayuca event was briefly interrupted by a young man seeking help, with media differing on his complaint.
