Mexico launches platform with 37,503 university spaces

The Mexican government, led by President Claudia Sheinbaum, has introduced the 'Educación Superior 2026' digital platform to expand access to public higher education. Coordinated by the Secretaría de Educación Pública (SEP), the platform will offer 37,503 additional university spaces for students who may not secure admission to institutions like the UNAM. The available spots include 18,674 in-person positions and 18,829 in virtual or distance learning modalities.

Key participating institutions include the Universidad Rosario Castellanos, which will provide 10,000 spots, the Tecnológico Nacional de México with 8,060, and the Universidad Abierta y a Distancia de México with 5,120. The platform is scheduled to become operational on Tuesday, August 25, allowing students to search for opportunities by institution, career, and area of interest.

Additionally, the 'Mi derecho, Mi lugar' program continues to expand, having already eliminated high school entrance exams in 17 Mexican states. This initiative aims to facilitate direct entry into upper secondary education, with plans to extend the exam-free model to more states for the 2027-2028 school cycle.
