Overview

• Mexicanos Primero presented “Voces desde el Aula,” a qualitative study based on focus groups and semi‑structured interviews with about 30 basic‑education teachers and school leaders in Jalisco, Michoacán, Sinaloa and Yucatán during the 2023–2024 school year.
• Educators welcomed project‑based learning and greater autonomy but described confusion, heavy administrative burdens and little pedagogical accompaniment, with most preparation limited to Consejo Técnico Escolar sessions.
• Participants reported late or insufficient free textbooks, missing materials for students with disabilities or in regional languages, and shortfalls in infrastructure and connectivity that deepen inequalities across schools.
• The organization warned of setbacks in foundational learning, pointing to widespread weaknesses in reading comprehension and mathematics tied to pandemic losses and the way the model was introduced.
• Ahead of the 2025–2026 school year, the group urged stronger teacher training and ongoing support, timely delivery of materials and connectivity, and continuity in curricular policy, and no SEP response or corrective plan was reported.
