With a record investment of more than 543 million pesos allocated across 2025 and 2026, the Baja California government aims to modernize basic education facilities through new construction, cafeteria installations, and large-scale rehabilitation projects spanning the entire state.
Under the plan, authorities have built 105 new educational spaces, equipped 39 school cafeterias and carried out comprehensive renovations at 288 campuses. The work is designed to create safer, more functional environments that support student learning and well-being across all seven municipalities.
Funding for educational infrastructure rose sharply from 221.3 million pesos in 2025 to 321.8 million pesos in 2026, allowing the government to extend services to communities that have long lacked adequate school facilities.
Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda emphasized her administration’s commitment to education as a cornerstone of public policy, stating that improving school facilities directly enhances learning outcomes and contributes to the comprehensive development of the state’s children and teenagers.
In addition to the new construction upgrades which included classrooms, administrative offices, sanitary modules, and USAER special education units, the investment financed 39 cafeterias, 83 projects aimed at improving school safety and coexistence, along with 5 multi-purpose sports courts.
Education Secretary Irma Martínez Manríquez noted that all expenditures have been carried out with transparency and strategic foresight, ensuring that each intervention responds to the most pressing needs of individual schools whether through new builds, expansions, or refurbishments.
She added that these efforts are already benefiting thousands of students across Baja California’s seven municipalities, fostering better conditions for both study and community life.
The governor concluded by reaffirming that her administration will continue prioritizing public education infrastructure, underscoring that access to dignified and secure learning spaces is an essential component of the shared well-being being built for Baja California families.
She also highlighted the complementary role of federal support, particularly the construction of the Rosario Castellanos National University campuses in Tijuana and Mexicali, which further strengthens the state’s educational landscape.
