Clara Brugada, head of government of Mexico City, explained that with this program the facilities of the public schools will be used to teach courses and to carry out sports, musical, theatrical activities, for the realization of works of art, not only for the students themselves, but for any person who wishes to incorporate.
He said that with Education Utopia the educational schools will be spaces to gather the residents of the area and thus generate coexistence links and to create community.
“So this school is utopia because it transforms a closed space in the most important public space in the community,” he said.
