Overview
- SNTE leader Alfonso Cepeda Salas delivered the Pliego Nacional de Demandas 2026 to Education Secretary Mario Delgado Carrillo.

- Core demands include a minimum 13 percent increase to the tabular salary and reforms to the two pension regimes under the ISSSTE law.
- The document proposes a new national career system for teachers, reduced administrative burdens, and expanded options for continuous professional development.
- Additional priorities call for timely payment of wages and benefits, solutions for school infrastructure and equipment, and strengthened policies for equality and the prevention of harassment and discrimination, with a negotiating commission named to begin talks.
