Mexico education reform and teacher training

In early July 2026, Mexico's federal and state officials began shaping a new education agenda. Secretary of Labor Norberto Morales met with faculty developing postgraduate programmes in safety, health and environmental protection, while the SNTE teachers’ union pressed the Education Ministry for a comprehensive career system to replace the existing USICAMM framework, calling for sustained investment, decent salaries and pension reforms.

By early August, the reform agenda moved into implementation. In Baja California, the Colegio de Bachilleres del Estado de Baja California delivered intensive instructor‑training sessions aligned with the Model Educativo 2025 and the Nueva Escuela Mexicana strategy, aiming to raise instructional quality across the state. Simultaneously, Guanajuato hosted a workshop on preventing sexual violence in dating, highlighting the role of educators in fostering safe school environments.

Together, these events illustrate a shift from policy formulation and union advocacy in July to concrete teacher‑training programmes and targeted safety workshops in August, reflecting the broader rollout of Mexico's education reforms and efforts to professionalize the teaching workforce.
