The Cabinet Coordinator reported that 300 positions in the SEP (Secretariat of Public Education) have been recovered that were irregularly assigned. 'There were cases of deceased individuals or supposed teachers who were not at their workplaces,' he stated. The official explained that this measure is the result of an ongoing audit that began over three months ago, which includes physical inspections, file analysis, and verification of administrative processes related to position assignments for 2025. Among the detected irregularities are positions assigned to deceased persons, workers not present at their work centers, incomplete files, and cases that did not meet established requirements. 'All were for 2025. Yes, we know who and how many, but once the audit is finished, we will present it (...) I wouldn't say they belonged to a political group; they were irregular practices that involved complicity,' he expressed. The official added that seven criminal complaints have already been filed against officials for various crimes, including the misuse of public functions. García Parra indicated that the recovered positions will be reassigned as the reviews progress, with priority given to profiles that comply with regulations. 'These 300 positions will go through a process of regular, temporary, or definitive assignment, which will be determined by the SEP,' he pointed out. According to the coordinator, the audit has not concluded and currently over 7,000 positions are under analysis as part of a joint process between the Secretariat of Anti-Corruption and the Superior Audit of the State. He specified that since February 24, a permanent team has been formed between both bodies to carry out the review, which includes verification visits and document review to detect inconsistencies in position assignments. Finally, García Parra stated that as part of this anti-corruption policy, 43 people have been removed at different levels of the SEP so far, from deputy directors, area heads, and liaisons.
