UAEMéx marks 25 years of indigenous student support

The Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México (UAEMéx) is celebrating 25 years of its Academic Support Program for Indigenous Students (PAAEI). Rector Martha Patricia Zarza Delgado highlighted the program's role in promoting educational inclusion and recognizing the cultural diversity and knowledge of original peoples.

As part of a broader University Transformation, a proposed reform to the UAEMéx law aims to provide institutional support for the recognition of indigenous contributions to knowledge. The initiative is scheduled for analysis by the local legislature on October 21. The university administration has expressed full readiness to collaborate with legislators to refine the project.

Additionally, the university is currently negotiating its budget for the upcoming year, which will influence several key projects, including potential tuition discounts for students.
