The Ministry of Public Education (SEP) will meet tomorrow, Friday, with teachers from the National Coordinator of Education Workers (CNTE) who will deliver their list of demands. There is ongoing communication with them, stated the head of the federal agency, Mario Delgado.

He said that the Interior Ministry would also participate in the meeting and reiterated that with the federal government’s openness, “there is no need for demonstrations” in the streets, but stressed, “we are respectful” of the decisions they make.

He also reported that a decision will be made next week regarding the feasibility and conditions of modifying the school calendar. A meeting with state education secretaries will be held on Wednesday, May 7, to review proposals submitted by some of them.

Some states are requesting an early end to the school year due to weather conditions and the World Cup, which will be held in June. The official mentioned the case of Jalisco, which has proposed online classes, and Nuevo León, which, he says, may be able to end the school year early.
