Sheinbaum Pledges 52,000 New Upper-Secondary Seats for 2026 During Tizayuca Campus Inspection

The plan pairs a national bachillerato with neighborhood campuses to keep teens in school through a unified core and dual credentials.

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.
