Earthquake in Colombia / Michoacan Avocado Sector Protection

Closure of Militarized Schools. Minister of Public Education Mario Delgado announced the closure of militarized schools across Mexico, confirming that no institutions under this model will operate in the upcoming school year as military-style education is not recognized under national educational legislation. Delgado stated that state authorities were instructed to shut down non-compliant facilities or transform them into civic- and citizen-focused educational models grounded in Mexican humanism.

Michoacan Avocado Sector Protection. President Claudia Sheinbaum announced that security forces will maintain targeted deployments in Michoacan following extortion threats reported by avocado producers, packers, and sanitary inspectors affiliated with the National Health, Food Safety, and Quality Service (SENASICA) and US regulatory agencies. Sheinbaum detailed that while extortion decreased in certain monitored zones, security will be reinforced in areas experiencing heightened criminal activity to safeguard workers across the productive chain.

Impact of Digital Devices on Classroom Learning. Primary Education Teacher Sandra Ortega and pedagogue Yareni Dominguez from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) presented findings on how digital immediacy and screen usage cause fatigue, lower academic performance, and shift student processing from critical thinking to fragmented attention. Delgado highlighted that the Ministry of Public Education (SEP) is developing new pedagogical strategies to support teachers in managing digital distractions, cyberbullying, and student anxiety within the classroom.

Earthquake in Colombia. President Claudia Sheinbaum expressed solidarity with Colombia following a 7.4 magnitude earthquake, confirming that the administration remains in direct communication with the Mexican Embassy in Bogota and stands ready to dispatch humanitarian support if requested by Colombian authorities.
