Janecarlo Lozano, the mayor of Gustavo A. Madero in Mexico City, began delivering uniforms and tennis shoes to 130,000 students in basic education.
The “Me Late Mi Uniforme” program will reach 450 public schools and support students from preschool through secondary school, including those with disabilities. This is the second year the Gustavo A. Madero government has run the program universally, aiming to create equality among students regardless of their families’ economic status.
Lozano explained the program avoids selecting students based on family income or academic performance, instead offering support to all children equally. The kits include shirts, pants, jackets, and shoes, and officials expect the program to benefit a total of 260,000 students over two years. Beyond providing school supplies, the initiative intends to free up family resources for other necessities like food, transportation, and school supplies. The Gustavo A.
Madero government connects the program to broader efforts to address inequality and create opportunities for children, including improvements to parks and recreational spaces.
