SEP unifies study plans in public high schools in Mexico

The SEP revolutionizes upper secondary education with a unified model that prepares young people for the future.

An educational revolution that will transform the future of Mexico!

The Secretary of Public Education (SEP) has just taken a historic step by presenting the new Common Curricular Framework for high school, a project that seeks to equalize opportunities and prepare our young people for the challenges of the 21st century. This is a game changer for education in Mexico!

A common apartment to build dreams

Imagine a system where all students, regardless of their public school, receive the same foundation of essential knowledge. This is how the Undersecretary of Higher Secondary Education, Tania Rodríguez, passionately explained it during the presidential morning: “For the first time we have a Common Curricular Framework that integrates key subjects for comprehensive training.”

This model, which will begin in September with the new school year, includes:

  • Language and communication (to express yourself with power!)
  • Mathematical thinking (the key to logical reasoning)
  • Scientific culture (awakening curious minds)
  • Historical awareness (to understand our past and build future)
  • Basic English (opening doors to the world)

And this is just the beginning! As Rodríguez highlighted: “Young people must know that they are actors in the history of our country.” What an empowering message!

Flexibility + specialization = Guaranteed success!

The genius of this model lies in its perfect balance: while establishing a common core, it leaves flexible curricular spaces for each school to adapt content according to its local context. This is education with a human face!

For those looking to join the labor market, there will be two options:

  1. Basic job training (to take the first professional step)
  2. Extended training (with technical or technological certification)

And the best! Students will receive two certificates: one for a general high school diploma and another that will accredit their professional skills. This is preparing for real life!

Education with joy: the key to success

Secretary Mario Delgado made the spirit of this reform clear: “Young people should be happy in high school, want to go and have a good time while they learn.”. What a refreshing vision!

This is not an improvised change. It emerged from consultations with teachers and students, because true educational transformation is built from the grassroots. The objective is clear: retain young people in the classrooms by offering them a relevant and motivating experience.

The expected result? Better prepared young people, with tools for university or the world of work, but above all, with love for learning. That is investing in the future of Mexico!

More than eight million apocryphal cigarettes seized in Manzanillo

Joint operation in Manzanillo detected shipment of counterfeit cigarettes.

Operational in the port of Manzanillo

Federal authorities seized more than eight million allegedly apocryphal cigarettes in the port of Manzanillo, Colima. The operation was coordinated by agencies of the security cabinet and the National Customs Agency of Mexico (ANAM).

Personnel from the ANAM and the Administrative Unit of the Manzanillo Customs detected inconsistencies in an operation to import cigarettes from abroad. This led to a specialized review.

As a result of the inspections, the authorities located 8 million 436 presumably counterfeit cigarettes. The merchandise was insured with the support of the Secretary of the Navy (Semar).

The ANAM reported that this type of operations are part of the permanent mechanisms of operational intelligence, risk management and strategic analysis. The objective is to strengthen security in foreign trade operations and detect documentary irregularities or goods of illicit origin.

The comprehensive analysis of the operation made it possible to reinforce documentary traceability, operational review and validation of commercial profiles. The authorities maintain surveillance at entry points into the country to combat illegal trade.

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.

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.”
