Government launches Massive Mathematics Classes to awaken vocations

More than 2 thousand children connected from Neza in national math class.

The government’s move to make children love math

This is not just any classroom. The Secretariat of Science, Humanities, Technology and Innovation (Secihti) has just turned on the switch of the National Strategy for Mass Classes, and the first stop was Nezahualcóyotl. More than 2,000 girls and boys connected from 17 states in the country to do fractions, solve puzzles and even mix mathematics with magic. Yes, as you hear it.

“We want to bring students closer to mathematics in a simple and fun way. The idea is that they enjoy these disciplines and are interested in learning,” said secretary Rosaura Ruiz Gutiérrez during the start.

What’s behind this move?

The order comes directly from President Claudia Sheinbaum: bring scientific knowledge to new generations, but without boring them. The bet is clear—transform education from the base, in coordination with the SEP. And they are not just about numbers: they have already announced that Massive Classes are coming in History, Spanish, Robotics, Chess and Artificial Intelligence. Pure muscle for critical thinking.

The fact that blew my mind

While the kids from Neza competed in “true or false” challenges and equivalent fractions, the Secretary of Education, Mario Delgado, got hooked from Sonora, calling to maintain enthusiasm. But the juiciest thing: Mayor Adolfo Cerqueda Rebollo said that they are already working on the first Science Museum of Nezahualcóyotl. A sign that science is not only taught, it is lived.

The class had the power of the UNAM, the IPN, the CIMAT and even the Mexican Mathematics Olympiad. This isn’t a one-afternoon experiment—it’s a long play to get kids to see dunks as their thing, not a monster. And be careful, because if they achieve that, the real prize is a generation that thinks for itself.

Perception of insecurity drops to 59.8%: Sheinbaum

Perception of insecurity in Mexico drops to 59.8%, the lowest figure since 2018.

ENSU results

President Claudia Sheinbaum reported that the perception of insecurity in urban areas fell to 59.8% in June 2026, according to the National Urban Public Security Survey (ENSU) of the INEGI. In December 2025 it was 63.8%, which represents six consecutive months of decline.

“The important thing here is that we are giving results in the security indicators and people are beginning to notice this decrease,” he said during the morning conference in Cuernavaca, Morelos.

Historical comparison

Sheinbaum recalled that in December 2018, under the government of Andrés Manuel López Obrador, the perception of insecurity was 73.7%. The previous lowest point was reached in September 2024 at 58.6%. The president attributed the improvement to the National Security Strategy.

The ENSU measures citizens’ feeling of insecurity in their environment. Recent data reflects a positive trend, although the challenge remains to maintain the reduction in crime. The authorities continue to implement actions to consolidate these results.

Sheinbaum delivers 43 homes in Morelos through the Housing Plan

President delivers homes, settlements and deeds in Xoxocotla, Morelos.

President Claudia Sheinbaum led in Xoxocotla, Morelos, the delivery of 43 new homes from Conavi, 348 settlement certificates from Fovissste and 79 deeds from INSUS. It’s all part of the Housing for Wellbeing Program.

“Previous governments took from the people, we increased the minimum wage, we are providing homes with accessible loans and we are removing debt from families,” said the president.

“Those from before governed for a few, the governments of the Transformation govern by the people and for the people of Mexico,” he added.

Plan details

Sheinbaum recalled that the program contemplates the construction of 1.8 million new homes in the country; the forgiveness and restructuring of unpayable loans for 5 million families; and the delivery of one million deeds to guarantee legal certainty.

The homes are aimed at people with incomes of one to two minimum wages. The land for new houses is already available throughout the national territory.

The Secretary of Agrarian Development, Edna Elena Vega Rangel, explained that in Morelos the goal was expanded from 10 thousand to 24 thousand new homes. Of these, 3,893 are already hired. In addition, 8 thousand families will receive deeds and more than 35 thousand will improve unpayable loans. Nationally, the program will benefit more than 10 million families.

The director of Conavi, Rodrigo Chávez Contreras, reported that of the 500 thousand homes under his charge there are already 320 projects to build 150 thousand houses. Of them, 75 thousand have already been assigned in 119 municipalities. In Morelos, 2,000 homes are being built in seven municipalities; 90 of them for Xoxocotla, of which 43 were delivered today.

Governor Margarita González Saravia thanked the president and confirmed that the state already has land for the 24 thousand houses in eleven municipalities.

One beneficiary, Araceli Pacheco López, thanked the delivery of her home, which she described as “very nice.”
