Sheinbaum promotes mass education and recovers cultural heritage

A historic opportunity for thousands of young people and a recovered national treasure: discover the details that are setting the course of the country.

A Cry of Hope that Shakes the Country

In a moment that will be recorded in the annals of history, President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, with the force of a hurricane and the determination of a leader born to transform destinies, launched a call that resonated in every corner of Mexico. It was not just any message: it was an epic invitation to thousands of young people to immerse themselves in knowledge and conquer their dreams through the Rosario Castellanos National University (UNRC). The clock is ticking relentlessly, as the call closes on June 1 at 11:39 p.m., and with it, the door to a bright future could be closed forever.

Seduces that Promise to Change Lives

With the solemnity of someone who delivers a treasure, Sheinbaum listed the physical locations that will open their doors this year: San Luis Potosí, Tlaxcala, Yucatán, State of Mexico, Baja California, Chiapas and Mexico City. But that was not all. In a dramatic turn, he revealed that 50 thousand souls had already signed up for the distance modality, a figure that left everyone breathless. “It is a very great opportunity for all young people,” he declared, with a voice that trembled with emotion, as if he knew that each word marked the destiny of a generation.

The propaedeutic course, that challenge that separates the brave from the undecided, can be attempted as many times as necessary. But be careful: time is a ruthless enemy. Meanwhile, the promise of 330 thousand university spaces throughout the country, including the IPN, the UBBJ and the TecNM, looms like a light in the midst of the darkness.

An Army of Wisdom and Health

In a strategic move that seemed taken from a medieval epic, Sheinbaum announced the opening of nursing schools in the Sierra Tarahumara, where future health warriors will prepare to join the Salud Casa por Casa program. Each graduate will be another soldier in the battle against inequality.

For her part, Rosaura Ruiz Gutiérrez, Secretary of Science, Humanities, Technology and Innovation, revealed figures that chilled the blood: 55,738 current students, 36 bachelor’s degrees, 15 postgraduate degrees and 250 doctors ready to graduate. The numbers spoke for themselves: this was an unprecedented educational revolution.

The Lost Treasure That Came Home

But the morning didn’t end there. In an unexpected twist, Diego Prieto Hernández, director of INAH, took the stage to narrate a feat that seemed straight out of an adventure movie: 2,082 cultural assets, stolen and hidden in distant lands, had been recovered in just eight months. The United States, Spain, Italy and other countries had returned what never belonged to them. Compared with previous governments, this was an achievement that resounded like thunder in history.

Among the objects recovered, there were pieces whose value was incalculable, not only in gold, but in memory and identity. Each one of them, a piece of the soul of Mexico, finally returned home.

An End that is Only the Beginning

As the sun rose on the horizon, the words of Sheinbaum and his team hung in the air, like an oath sworn to an entire country. Education and culture, two pillars that had been neglected for decades, were now the heart of a transformation that promised to be unstoppable.

Commander Guillermo Briseño Lobera explained that in the current six-year term, 45 thousand people have been arrested for crimes, 23 thousand firearms have been seized, more than 213 tons of drugs have been seized and two thousand clandestine laboratories have been dismantled.

He announced that Sedena is promoting a plan to reach 170,000 troops and 886 facilities by the end of the six-year term.

The president presented decorations to the personnel outstanding in security, training and confiscations, with special recognition to the elements of the Teotihuacan archaeological zone for their performance last April.

Mother of ABC Daycare victim demands justice from FGR

Victim's mother denies that the case is closed and demands that FGR resume investigations.

Juanita Luna, mother of one of the victims of the ABC Daycare, responded to the statements of President Claudia Sheinbaum. He clarified that the judicial file has never been closed and demanded that the Attorney General’s Office (FGR) continue the investigations.

The recent resolution of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) did not order reopening the case, Luna said. What it ruled is that crimes committed against minors are imprescriptible. Therefore, those responsible for manslaughter still need to be prosecuted.

Gabriel Alvarado Serrano, legal representative of the Manos Unidas por Nuestros Niño collective, explained that this judicial criterion strengthens the demand for justice. It marks a historical precedent for Mexican children, he noted.

Now it is up to the FGR to accelerate the current investigation files, the lawyer warned. If new evidence emerges, other public servants who were not originally included may be called to account regardless of the time that has passed.

During her morning conference, President Sheinbaum stated that the Prosecutor’s Office must reach the ultimate consequences in this case. He promised to deliver all the information required by the IMSS.

Sheinbaum also pointed out that the surrogate daycare model implemented during Felipe Calderón’s six-year term was marked by corruption, nepotism and serious security deficiencies. These failures led to the tragedy that claimed the lives of 49 minors in 2009.

They seek to hire substitute teachers during strikes in Oaxaca

Morena's initiative seeks to guarantee educational continuity during teacher strikes in Oaxaca.

Morenoist proposal in response to teacher strikes

The local representative of Morena, María Eulalia Velasco Ramírez, presented an initiative to reform the Oaxaca Education Law. Their objective: to force the state government to hire substitute teachers during teacher strikes.

The legislator seeks to provide continuity to the educational service. To this end, it proposes immediate response mechanisms in the event of any suspension of teaching activities. The proposal now remains in the hands of the local Congress.

The reality of the protests in the state

Every year, Section 22 of the SNTE carries out staggered strikes as part of its union pressure strategy. In 2024, the protests lasted a month and mainly affected basic education schools. It is not the only union: there are also recurring strikes at the “Benito Juárez” Autonomous University of Oaxaca (UABJO) and other high school campuses.

Velasco Ramírez —mother of the Secretary of Tourism, Saymi Pineda— maintains that her initiative protects the right to education under the principle of the best interests of children. According to the representative, the most vulnerable students are the ones who suffer the most from suspensions.

Measures that the IEEPO would authorize

The reform empowers the State Institute of Public Education of Oaxaca (IEEPO) to take administrative, academic and extraordinary measures when the service is interrupted due to the unjustified absence of teaching staff. Among the permitted actions are: immediately designate substitute staff, enable alternative in-person care locations in nearby facilities, or implement academic strategies to avoid the loss of the school year.

The initiative emphasizes social justice for rural, indigenous communities or areas without internet access. In these cases, the educational authority must always prioritize the in-person modality to guarantee learning.
