Mexico Launches Saberes MX, a Free National Platform for University‑Backed Courses and Microcredentials

Officials cast the AI‑guided site as a public counterweight to private platforms offering free, credentialed upskilling.

Overview

  • The platform is live at saberes.gob.mx and is free to use for all ages with a Llave MX account.
  • Its first certified course, SanaMente LibreMente for higher‑education students, lasts 16 hours and grants official recognition after completion.
  • Initial partners include UNAM, UnADM, Tecnológico Nacional de México, IPN, UdeG, BUAP, UABC, Arizona State University, aprende.mx, IMSS and Open Academy, with further integrations planned.
  • Saberes MX uses an AI recommendation engine to build personalized learning routes, supports APIs to link university systems and lets users accumulate microcredentials and badges.
  • Education leaders say the initiative targets 10.3 million adults with incomplete degrees and 183,324 who left engineering programs, addresses a projected 1.4 million STEM need and offers a public alternative to fast‑growing private course platforms.
