This article by Fernanda Monroy originally appeared in the July 13, 2026 edition of Contralínea, a Mexican investigative journalism magazine.

During her morning press conference, the president explained that the investment will be channeled through programs such as La Escuela es Nuestra (LEEN) and the Multiple Contributions Fund (FAM), with the purpose of rehabilitating and strengthening basic, upper-secondary, and higher education campuses.

It is a historic investment of 58 billion pesos for the country’s schools, without counting what the states invest directly; this is only what we invest from the government of Mexico.

For his part, the Secretary of Public Education (SEP), Mario Delgado Carrillo, detailed that, of the total resources, 37.715 billion pesos will go to basic education, of which 22.694 billion correspond to the LEEN program and 15.021 billion to the FAM.

She explained that the program serves everything from Multiple Attention Centers, initial education, preschool, primary, and secondary, to upper-secondary education campuses, with 100 percent coverage in public secondary schools and high schools incorporated into the scheme.

“There are many actions and programs to improve the education of the girls, boys, and young people of our country and to guarantee access to education as a right,” she affirmed.

Likewise, the head of the SEP reported that, together with the educational support programs, the federal government expects to close 2026 with 22 million students benefiting from the Well-Being Scholarships at all educational levels. »
