The federal government launched the National High School program for Everyone ¡My right, My place! with the aim of guaranteeing the enrollment of all students in high schools in the Valley of Mexico. As part of this initiative, the Comipems exam will be eliminated, and a platform will be established for each student to enroll in up to 10 schools, based on the proximity of their home or their preferences. The authorities will be responsible for assigning the places, although the criteria to be followed have not been specified.
Under this program, public high school institutions, dependent on both the Federal Government and the governments of Mexico City and the State of Mexico, will no longer require the admission exam as an entry requirement, with the goal of ensuring access for all secondary school students. On the other hand, both the IPN and the UNAM will continue to apply an admission exam, which will be conducted entirely virtually on a set date.
The government's goal is to establish the National High School System in the New Mexican School, which will involve transitioning from the current 32 subsystems to only two: the General National High School and the Technological National High School. With this new approach, all students will receive their high school certificate and, additionally, obtain a Professional and/or Technological Training certification from higher education institutions such as IPN, UNAM, UAM, and TecNM, as well as others that will join in the future.
The Secretariat of Public Education (SEP) announced the construction of 20 new high schools, seven of which will be located in the Metropolitan Area of Mexico City, specifically in the municipalities of Ecatepec, Nezahualcóyotl, Ixtapaluca, Chalco, Texcoco, and Tecámac.
