Overview
- Mario Delgado acknowledged the state's failure at the Marcelino de Champagnat preschool and said the SEP will press the FGR to continue investigations so all alleged aggressors are prosecuted.
- The ministry announced measures including a Sept. 8 national awareness day on child abuse and mandatory training for school staff and students on detection and reporting.
- Officials said they will propose a public registry of aggressors, publish school staffing, tighten campus entry controls, and work to remove onsite housing and separate student and staff bathrooms.
- A 2021 ruling sentenced a principal perpetrator to 494 years in prison and another to six years and nine months, yet only 18 of 57 complaints led to convictions and families say additional suspects remain at large.
- The case set a precedent by ordering state reparations such as housing access, scholarships, labor support, and a public apology, though families and advocates stress that effective enforcement is still in question.
