Sheinbaum Rejects 'Rebellion' at SEP, Backs Mario Delgado

She characterized the dispute as routine internal debate with Arriaga’s continued role left to his choice.

Overview

  • Marx Arriaga, the SEP’s Educational Materials director, urged a “rebelión” over what he described as a drive to privatize education under Secretary Mario Delgado.
  • In her morning briefing, President Claudia Sheinbaum said there is no uprising inside the Education Ministry and affirmed that Delgado is doing a very good job.
  • She framed the episode as normal internal discussion and underscored that the SEP must guarantee the right to education.
  • Sheinbaum added that no single person embodies the Cuarta Transformación’s ideas, which she said reside with the people of Mexico.
  • Pressed on Arriaga’s future, she said it is up to him; Arriaga has advocated teacher and citizen committees to defend the New Mexican School and monitor classroom materials.
