Mexico City Launches 'Educación Utopía' Across 16 Schools

The rollout prioritizes weekend access for communities with a gradual expansion planned.

Overview

  • Clara Brugada led the formal launch at Secundaria Técnica 18 in Milpa Alta and activated the program remotely in 15 additional campuses across the city.
  • Following a September 4 pilot at the Luis R. Alarcón primary school in Álvaro Obregón, the initiative now operates in one school per borough for the 2025–2026 cycle.
  • Participating schools will open on Saturdays for three hours of free extracurriculars, including arts, sports, technology, community orchestras, and monthly excursions.
  • Secondary schools will receive a mental health and addiction‑prevention program with psychologists visiting every 15 days, as part of the broader Vida Plena Corazón Contento effort.
  • Media differ on year‑end scale targets, with reports citing either 60 or 80 schools by late 2025, while a dedicated Utopía facility in Milpa Alta is under construction for delivery next year.
