Mexico City distributes school supplies; over one million two hundred fifty thousand students eligible for assistance with school uniforms.
Mexico City, the capital of Mexico, is set to begin its 2025-2026 academic year with a significant educational initiative. The Head of Government, Clara Brugada, and the Secretary of Education, Science, Technology, and Innovation (Sectei), Pablo Yanes, have announced a program aimed at achieving the full development and capabilities of each student, closing gaps of inequality in education, and creating equal and fraternal societies.
The program, which has received a total investment of 1,275 million pesos, will distribute 1.25 million cards to students in public schools of basic education in Mexico City. These cards are intended for the purchase of school supplies and uniforms, and the initiative is part of a larger education investment in the city.
The distribution of cards started at an event near the GNP stadium, with more than 20,000 cards handed out in the inaugural event. In the first phase, between 350,000 and 370,000 cards will be distributed, with 11,000 million pesos being invested in education in Mexico City this year.
This week, 337,000 cards will be distributed in the school zones of CDMX, but no information about the location or timing of the card distribution beyond the first phase was provided. The program aims to achieve human flourishing for students and close gaps of inequality in education.
While specific information about the purpose or use of the cards was not provided, educational supply distribution programs are common in many countries as part of broader initiatives to support public education. If you are looking for more information on this particular program or educational support in Mexico City, it may be best to consult local government resources or educational departments directly.
