The government of Baja California is implementing various social welfare and educational initiatives. Initially, the state announced the creation of 3,000 new free high school spaces specifically for women to strengthen autonomy, with a goal to reach 5,000 beneficiaries by the end of 2026.

Subsequent developments include legislative proposals to reform the Law for the Rights, Protection, and Integration of Older Adults, which would require municipal governments to conduct quarterly inspections of elderly care facilities. Additionally, in coordination with the federal government, the state is promoting the Benito Juárez Universal Scholarship for Higher Secondary Education, providing 1,900 pesos every two months to public high school and technical program students to reduce dropout rates.
