Overview

  • From January to August 2025, 93,341 people aged 60 and over signed up for INEA literacy services, according to Education Secretary Mario Delgado.
  • Of those enrolled, 28,298 completed their studies and received certification, while 65,043 remain in the learning process.
  • SEP reported that 31,512 older adults are studying primary education and 37,037 are in secondary education within the INEA system.
  • INEA’s Modelo de Educación para la Vida (AprendeINEA) delivers flexible, close-to-home instruction designed to respect seniors’ experience and build self-esteem.
  • Officials highlighted seniors’ dual role as learners and advisors, citing examples like a 100-year-old graduate and framing the effort as a state priority to combat the ‘poverty of knowledge.’
