With the presence of the Secretary of the Interior, Rosa Icela Rodríguez, the teachers of section 22 of Oaxaca, attached to the National Coordinator of Education Workers (CNTE), reinstalled the tripartite dialogue table in the entity, in which state authorities also participated, as well as the Secretary of Public Education, Mario Delgado, and the general director of the Institute of Security and Social Services of State Workers (Issste), Martí Batres.
At the meeting, held in the Administrative City complex of the Oaxacan capital, where hundreds of teachers arrived in support of their leadership, teacher Yenny Aracely Pérez Martínez, general secretary of section 22, which brings together more than 80 thousand education workers in the state, stated that “we arrived with agreements drawn up since last June, but they have not been fulfilled, so it should not be another delaying table in which reach an agreement, and then these are not fulfilled.”
In an interview prior to the meeting, he pointed out that in addition to the agenda of state demands, “we are going to insist before the federal authorities on the urgency of resuming dialogue with the Single National Negotiation Commission of the CNTE, and the demands that we have been raising such as the repeal of the 2007 Issste Law and the Peñista educational reform.”
Pérez Martínez declared that in total there are 76 state demands that need to be addressed, among them, the immediate hiring of personnel, since the spaces left by retirements or deaths are not covered, which results in classrooms without teachers. At the level of indigenous education alone, more than 1,500 workers are required, he stated.
He insisted that Section 22 requires “real solutions and not dilatory agreements, since we have already had too much of the latter, and this only causes more problems in the education sector,” and therefore harm to children.
In the afternoon, during a recess of the tripartite table, which continued to be headed by Delgado Carrillo, the Secretary of the Interior issued a message in
“We are in #Oaxaca by instruction of the president of #Mexico, @Claudiasheinto hold a working meeting with the teachers and follow up on the agreements in favor of the education of girls and boys, adolescents and young people of this beautiful state,” reported the federal official.
Pérez Martínez emphasized that one of the central demands is to comply with the delivery of furniture and technological equipment for the more than 13,000 basic education schools in Oaxaca, since the agreement signed in 2024 to improve the infrastructure of the schools remains unfulfilled. He pointed out that Salomón Jara’s government “has spent a lot of time politicizing this program, which was an achievement of the CNTE.”
