Claudia Sheinbaum announces investment in Mexico schools and clinics

President Claudia Sheinbaum announced that the Mexican government has invested more than 27 billion pesos to renovate public schools and health centers.

These funds support the La Escuela es Nuestra and La Clínica es Nuestra programs, which involve parent committees that decide which specific projects to undertake in their local communities. The government allocated 23.3 billion pesos to renovate basic and high school buildings during the year.

Additionally, 4.6 billion pesos went toward refurbishing health centers within the IMSS Bienestar system. For the current year, the government set aside nearly 24 billion pesos for schools and about 5 billion pesos for clinics. Pamela López reported that the government delivered resources directly to 73,443 schools, which benefits approximately 8.8 million students. The administration noted that the IMSS Bienestar program is receiving its fourth year of funding in Yucatán, a state in southeastern Mexico.

These programs allow local committees to manage the funds directly to improve infrastructure and services.
