Sinaloa school uniform exchange program

Overview

In late July 2026 the Sinaloa state government announced a free school‑uniform, footwear and supplies exchange that would begin on 3 August. The program, overseen by Education Secretary Gloria Himelda Félix Niebla, targeted more than 481,000 elementary and middle‑school students across all 20 municipalities, using 1,121 authorized exchange points and a staggered distribution schedule based on the first letter of each child’s surname. Local merchants warned families to use only official centres to avoid counterfeit or poorly made items.

A few days later, Governor Yeraldine Bonilla, speaking with President Claudia Sheinbaum, highlighted additional economic measures—including a maize‑price support scheme and an early‑start electricity subsidy—but also confirmed the rollout of the uniform exchange. The first phase, covering surnames A‑F, was inaugurated by the governor, reinforcing the program’s implementation and its integration with broader state assistance efforts.
