- Sheinbaum ordered that public bachilleratos and technical schools stop charging fees and instructed the federal government to cover charges at CBTIS No.198, saying families will no longer pay for operations previously funded by quotas.
- The federal government pledged 6,338 million pesos for Becas para el Bienestar in Guanajuato and announced broader scholarship deliveries that cover primary, secondary and upper‑secondary students in the state.
- Officials said construction of a UNRC campus in Celaya will begin in 2027 and the administration set a target to raise UNRC enrollment from 120,000 to 240,000 during the sexenio to expand free higher education nationwide.
