The Ministry of Public Education (SEP) condemned any act of violence or abuse against minors that attempts to justify with the term “military education.” Its owner, Mario Delgado, stated that this modality is not authorized in any basic education school in the country.
“It is inadmissible that, under a supposed ‘military education’, attempts are made to justify, normalize or hide acts of abuse, violence, mistreatment or practices that threaten the physical, psychological or emotional integrity of minors,” Delgado said in a statement.
The official stressed that this type of behavior constitutes a flagrant violation of human rights and the best interests of children. He recalled that military education is only taught in institutions of the Armed Forces and the National Guard, under the Secretariat of National Defense.
No authorization for militarized schools
The SEP reiterated that no basic education school can offer services under the name “militarized”, “military” or “military”. The agency warned that the educational authority of Tamaulipas is already investigating the case and will take action on the institution involved, which received authorization in 2005 and was updated in 2013.
Details of the case
The incident occurred at a private summer camp in Ciudad Madero, Tamaulipas. A teenager was admitted in good health on July 13. Days later, a coordinator informed the mother that the minor had fainted and suffered a fall. They sent him a video where the young woman appears lying down, with visible bruises on her face, saying that she was fine. Hours later, the teenager died inside the facilities.
The SEP regretted the death and strongly rejected any inhuman or degrading treatment against girls, boys and adolescents.
