In early October 2026, the Mexican government and the National Union of Education Workers (SNTE) announced the assignment of 500 new permanent positions in Baja California Sur. This initiative, which took effect on October 1, aims to regularize workers who previously lacked formal tenure. The allocation includes 260 classroom teacher roles, 230 support and assistance personnel positions, and 10 sub-director roles, providing staff with improved salaries, legal benefits, and retirement security.

Later in the month, the Congress of Baja California Sur requested that the Mexican Chamber of Deputies increase funding for the ‘La Escuela es Nuestra’ program in the 2027 federal budget. Legislators expressed concern over a projected 25.5% budget reduction, warning that such cuts could jeopardize essential school infrastructure, including sanitation, electricity, and potable water, particularly in rural and indigenous communities.
