Social and educational support strengthens well-being in the State of Mexico. Permanent programs, record investment, and infrastructure improvements define the social agenda.
The Government of Mexico continues to strengthen its commitment to education and well-being through comprehensive initiatives that guarantee permanent rights for students and vulnerable sectors.
This afternoon in Ecatepec and Tlalnepantla, President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo led the distribution of essential support, reaffirming the vision of a profound social transformation in the country.
During the inspection of construction projects in Ecatepec, the President highlighted the importance of the Rita Cetina Scholarship, financial aid for students attending public secondary schools.
This benefit, now an inalienable right, impacts approximately six million young people and represents a federal investment of over 50 billion pesos.
The president emphasized that these types of programs are a direct result of the Fourth Transformation, which since 2018 has promoted policies focused on equity and social justice.
On the same day, the upcoming opening of a Technological High School in Ecatepec was announced. Its construction and equipment required a combined investment of more than 67 million pesos.
This school will offer specializations in cutting-edge areas such as Artificial Intelligence, Nanotechnology, and Robotics, preparing new generations for the challenges of the future.
The governor of the State of Mexico, Delfina Gómez Álvarez, highlighted the positive impact these projects are having on the population’s quality of life, expressing her gratitude for the federal support.

She emphasized that, starting in 2026, the pension for senior citizens will increase to $6,400 pesos every two months, reflecting the humanist approach and moral economy that has characterized the current administration.
The Comprehensive Plan for the Eastern Zone of the State of Mexico was another key topic. This strategy includes the construction of hospitals, universities, and high schools, as well as the improvement of basic services such as drinking water and drainage.
A highlight of this plan is the upcoming inauguration of the Valle Ceylán Hospital, which will feature cutting-edge technology and specialized care in various medical areas.
For its part, the Ministry of Public Education reported significant progress in scholarship coverage and announced the creation of two online high schools in Tlalnepantla, strengthening access to quality education.
Currently, more than 1.6 million students in the State of Mexico receive Rita Cetina and Benito Juárez scholarships, with the goal of reaching two million in the short term.
Finally, the Director General of IMSS Bienestar and the Secretary of Welfare detailed that the State of Mexico leads the nation with the highest number of beneficiaries in social programs, exceeding 3.4 million eligible individuals.
These actions demonstrate the structural transformation in the state, where public investment and the prioritization of social welfare are fundamental pillars for sustainable development.
