Overview

• Profeco reported minimum and maximum totals for the suggested basic lists: 1st–2nd grade 203.87–418.80 MXN, 3rd grade 223.68–454.81 MXN, 4th–6th grade 237.68–493.82 MXN, and secondary 295.04–598.82 MXN.
• The figures come from monitoring 689 school items since mid‑June, with Profeco stressing that totals vary by city and store and pointing families to its 'Quién es Quién en los Precios' tool (qqp.profeco.gob.mx).
• The lists align with SEP’s published basic supplies guidance, and Profeco’s Consumer Magazine includes quality tests on common items to support better value choices.
• Business and market analyses indicate the full outlay per student can be much higher when uniforms, tuition and technology are included, with estimates near 9,000 pesos in many cases.
• Local reporting highlights wide disparities in actual spending, including Tijuana parents describing roughly 1,000 to 5,000 pesos for supplies and uniforms.
