- New technical programs in cybersecurity, e-commerce, electromobility, artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, robotics and semiconductors will launch in the 2025–2026 cycle through the Polos de Desarrollo para el Bienestar.
- Officials reaffirmed that the Common Curricular Framework (MCCEMS), part of the new National Baccalaureate System, began phased implementation in the 2024–2025 school year to unify student formation and enable mobility across subsystems.
