Reports have emerged regarding various administrative disputes and allegations of harassment involving educators in Bolivia and Mexico.

In Bolivia, a teacher at Unidad Educativa Tupac Katari, Verónica Huchani Márquez, has accused her school director of systematic persecution and mistreatment. Huchani claims the director failed to honor working hour agreements and has attempted to refer her to a disciplinary commission after she reported security issues. She reports that her complaints to the disciplinary tribunal remain unresolved despite her providing audio recordings and psychiatric certifications.

In Mexico, separate incidents have been documented in Hidalgo and Veracruz. In Hidalgo, the Secretary of Public Education of Hidalgo removed a mathematics teacher from her duties following an administrative procedure regarding alleged school bullying, though the teacher denies the claims and alleges workplace harassment.

In Veracruz, the controversy surrounding substitute sixth-grade teacher José “N” has escalated to the state government. Following a formal complaint from parents regarding inappropriate behavior toward female students—including allegations of uncomfortable gestures and physical proximity—the teacher was suspended. The dispute was initially triggered by a classroom assignment requiring students to draw maps of their routes to school, which parents argued compromised student privacy.

Veracruz Governor Rocío Nahle has intervened, describing the teacher’s suspension as “unjust” and arguing that a disagreement over a school activity should not result in removal from duty. Governor Nahle has requested that the Secretary of Education, Raquel Bonilla Herrera, review the case to facilitate the teacher’s return. The teacher denies all allegations of misconduct, maintaining that the assignment was part of the official curriculum and that his interactions were strictly academic.
