The Secretary of Public Education (SEP), Mario Delgado Carrillo, presented the new Healthy Life in Schools guidelines and actions, in order to contribute to the full exercise of the right to nutritious, sufficient and quality food in schools for children, adolescents and young people.

During his participation in the “Mañaneras del Pueblo”, led by President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, he recalled that last September 30, the Ministries of Public Education (SEP) and Health, published the General Guidelines to which the preparation, distribution and sale of prepared, processed and bulk food and beverages, as well as the promotion of healthy lifestyles in food, must be subject to within any school of the National Education System (SEN).

He stated that these guidelines will come into force in 180 days and will be mandatory as of March 29, 2025 in all schools of the three types of education of the SEN: Basic, Upper Secondary and Higher Education, so the 258,689 schools in the country will have to comply with them.
