Overview

  • Representatives of CNTE sections 9, 10, 11 and 60 delivered a petition to President Claudia Sheinbaum on July 17–18, reiterating demands to repeal the 2007 ISSSTE law and restore collective pension rights.
  • The union argues that recent decrees on retirement age and salary hikes are insufficient because 80% of teachers remain under the individual account system.
  • CNTE claims more than 13,000 educators faced unjustified salary deductions in mid-July, with some reporting pay as low as five pesos.
  • Despite declaring a summer recess in street actions, the CNTE plans to resume protests before the start of the 2025–2026 school year.
  • A National Representative Assembly is scheduled before the end of August to assess the real impact of the government’s 10% raise and set the movement’s next steps.
