Summary — main ideas and lessons
Opening and recognition
- The Secretary of Education addressed teachers, principals, directors and supervisors at the Sixth CTE session (March 2026).
- He commemorated International Women’s Day and recognized the predominance and caregiving role of women teachers in basic education.
- He linked gender equality to the principles of the “new Mexican school” and stressed integrating gender perspectives into school projects and curricula.
Actions to promote women’s rights and memory
- More than 6 million women’s-rights booklets have been distributed to middle and high school students since the 2025–2026 school year; teachers have led translations into indigenous languages (examples: Mixtec, Nahuatl, Tenek, Cora).
- The government has dedicated 2026 to honoring the 200th anniversary of Margarita Maza’s birth, highlighting her activism, social organization, diplomacy, and promotion of secular and secondary education for women.
Philosophy and structure of the “new Mexican school”
- Described as a “living project” with popular roots (cultural missions, rural schools) and built across diverse territories — shaped by many hands and voices.
- Core principles:
- Curriculum emerging from local needs and territory.
- Strong school–community links.
- Teachers’ professional autonomy.
- Dialogue of knowledge and values education.
- Defense of education as a state-guaranteed right.
- Emphasis on recognizing students as historical, situated subjects and starting from their and the community’s existing knowledge, then articulating that with new knowledge via school projects and research.
Curriculum co-design and the analytical program
- The Ministry issues a concise national program; teaching staff reconstructs, adjusts and enriches it according to their school’s reality.
- This deliberative, ongoing reflective process is called the “analytical program” and is an exercise in professional reflection and curricular co-design.
- Curriculum co-design gives local meaning to national proposals; no two schools are the same.
Pedagogy, assessment and values
- Problem-posing of real situations is used to drive critical thinking.
- Formative assessment is framed as a climate of trust where students reflect on what they understand and what challenges them.
- The school’s vocation is humanistic, intercultural, inclusive, critical and gender-sensitive, centered on the ethics of care, interdependence with other living beings, community and ancestral knowledge, and the right to well-being.
National forum and call to teachers
- Announcement of a nationwide forum to reflect on, deepen and update the shared reading of the new Mexican school.
- Teachers were invited to register and share teaching experiences and practices in the national repository (registration open March 30–April 30).
Programs, achievements and operational reminders
- Gratitude was expressed for teacher participation in assemblies related to scholarship and school-supply/uniform distribution programs; statistics on assemblies and beneficiaries were reported.
- Notable initiatives and figures (subtitles cited):
- Scholarship program: will serve more than 11.1 million elementary students in 2026; total scholarships across all levels: 22.8 million.

- Social World Cup of School Football: more than 111,000 teams and about 1,327,000 participants (primary, secondary and upper secondary); described as the largest school football tournament in the world (per FIFA data).

Methodology and practical guidance for teachers
