Overview

• The draft allocates about 1.2 trillion pesos to education with a real increase near 2% while the sector’s share of programmable federal spending slips to 16.62% from 16.9% in 2025.
• Resources concentrate on scholarships, salaries and the La Escuela es Nuestra infrastructure program, leaving strategies focused on measurable learning with little or no funding.
• Only 16 of 33 strategies in the 2025–2030 Sectoral Education Program receive budget support, which Mexicanos Primero warns jeopardizes stated goals.
• The evaluation unit DGADAE would face a cut of roughly 65% to 51 million pesos, and continuous professional development averages just 91.50 pesos per teacher for 2026, which the group estimates would reach about 4% of educators.
• Funding for La Escuela es Nuestra peaked at 27.6 billion pesos in 2023, fell to around 23.4 billion, and holds near that level in the new proposal as the organization calls for a shift toward learning strategies, results‑oriented scholarships, greater transparency and a long‑term target of 8% of GDP for education.
