Educational sectors in Mexico and Peru are facing disruptions driven by transport strikes and labor disputes.

In Peru, a 48-hour transport strike in Tacna, triggered by rising fuel costs, led the Regional Directorate of Education to suspend in-person classes and recommend virtual learning. Concurrently, the SUTEP union in Tacna is demanding the protection of labor rights and pensions, noting that local transport strikes are complicating commutes for educators.

In Mexico, transport issues in Hermosillo continue to impact students at the Universidad de Sonora. While the municipal administration has completed resurfacing work on 21 strategic roads to enhance mobility, public transport challenges persist. Alfonso López Villa, a spokesperson for Vigilantes del Transporte, warned that increased demand could cause wait times to exceed 40 minutes, noting that buses often arrive at stops already full. This particularly affects saturated routes such as lines 04, 17, 18, and 1 Manga.

Meanwhile, in Oaxaca, members of the SUTDCEO union initiated work stoppages across six Conalep campuses, protesting budget reductions affecting teaching hours and calling for more transparent academic workload distribution.
