Overview
- SEP detailed a 202-action package for 2026 that adds capacity through 20 new technological bachilleratos, 52 expansions of saturated schools, and 130 ciberbachillerato campuses.
- New sites target high-demand areas including Tijuana, Ciudad Juárez, Hermosillo, Reynosa, and parts of the State of Mexico, with officials citing near full coverage for secondary graduates in Tijuana.
- Ciberbachillerato is framed as an in-person, modular option for communities located more than 45 minutes from a preparatoria, with classroom teaching rather than distance-only learning.
- Student supports continue with the Benito Juárez universal scholarship projected to surpass 4 million high-school beneficiaries in 2026 with investment above 40 billion pesos, alongside La Escuela es Nuestra funding to reach over 6,000 campuses.
- Authorities highlighted 2025 momentum after exceeding the initial target by creating 44,685 places through new campuses, expansions, and conversions of secondary schools, with additional deliveries reported through January and February.
