SMSEM administrative and recognition initiatives

Overview

The Teachers Union of the State of Mexico (SMSEM) has continued its administrative and recognition initiatives, including the launch of its academic achievement scholarship program. Established through the 2026 Salary and Benefits Agreement negotiated with the Government of the State of Mexico under Delfina Gómez Álvarez, the program targets students with a minimum grade of 8.5. General Secretary Jenaro Martínez Reyes noted that the union anticipates receiving over 30,000 applications, as approximately 30 percent of the union’s more than 100,000 members have school-aged children meeting the requirements.

On October 1, SMSEM celebrated its 74th anniversary with a ceremony in Toluca, led by Jenaro Martínez Reyes and Miguel Ángel Hernández Espejel, head of the Secretariat of Education, Science, Technology, and Innovation. The event commemorated the union’s history since its founding in 1952, highlighting achievements such as retirement funds, housing assistance, and welfare centers. The union now represents more than 105,000 members.

The anniversary ceremony also served as the platform to present the ‘Joven Promesa Sindical 2026’ awards. The recipients honored were Nataly García Rosales, José Eduardo Juárez Goy, Edgar Josué Miguel Montaño, and Lucero Yanet Pacheco Ramírez.
