Clara Brugada Molina, the head of government, delivered the refurbished school, a project costing 1.9 million pesos, which will benefit 132 students. Brugada Molina stated her administration prioritises improving school facilities, ensuring students have access to dignified classrooms with functioning bathrooms and reliable utilities.
The renovations at Dolores Correa Zapata addressed all identified needs of the school simultaneously, rather than providing only partial support. The work at the primary school included painting approximately 5,000 square meters, waterproofing 236 square meters, upgrading the electrical system, installing 16 new lights, improving bathrooms, and constructing a 134-square-meter roof over the main courtyard.
Raúl Basulto Luviano, the Secretary of Works and Services, reported that the “1, 2, 3 Por Mi Escuela” program has renovated 782 schools across all 16 districts of Mexico City, helping over 392,000 students, and added 170 new roofs. The total budget of 14.306 billion pesos, allocated for 2025 and 2026, supports programs like “Mi Beca para Empezar” (a scholarship program), school supplies, and school breakfasts.
