Overview
- At an event in Tizayuca, Hidalgo, President Claudia Sheinbaum announced 52,000 additional upper-secondary spaces for 2026 while inaugurating CBTIS No. 293 alongside Governor Julio Menchaca and SEP chief Mario Delgado.
- She cited survey results showing students left school due to disengagement and long travel times, which informed the push to build preparatorias closer to where students live.
- She outlined the Bachillerato Nacional, which sets a common academic base, adds humanities to technological tracks, and grants dual credentials from SEP and a public university.
- The new CBTIS 293 spans 14,000 square meters with two buildings for classrooms, workshops, computing rooms, and administration, represents a 49.67 million peso investment, and will start with 450 students under the National High School System.
- The event was briefly interrupted by a young man seeking help and removed by staff, with outlets reporting conflicting accounts of his complaint.
