Mexico allocates 300 million pesos for teacher salary equalization
The Mexican federal government has announced the allocation of 300 million pesos to address long-standing salary disparities among teachers in upper secondary education subsystems. This initiative aims to resolve wage lags that have affected staff in institutions such as CECyTE, CONALEP, CECyTES, and Colegio de Bachilleres since 2013.
Under the proposed program, teachers will be eligible for salary equalization based on specific criteria, including seniority, academic qualifications, and professional titles. The process will involve an evaluation to ensure applicants meet the necessary standards. In San Luis Potosí, approximately 80 to 90 CECyTE educators are expected to participate in a second stage of this equalization process in 2026.
The funding model requires state governments to contribute to the program. For instance, union leaders in Aguascalientes are negotiating with the state government to secure a contribution equivalent to 50 percent of the federal funds allocated to the region.
