Mexico's Teachers Celebrate Salary Hikes and Extra Vacation

Mexico's Teachers See Significant Salary Boosts and Added Vacation Time under Sheinbaum Administration Mexico City – In a recent episode of the popular political talk show "La Moreniza," presenters highlighted significant improvements in the working conditions of Mexican teachers. The discussion focused on substantial salary increases and the addition of a week of vacation time under the current administration of President Claudia Sheinbaum. One presenter stated, "The increase has been marvelous. It's a significant improvement over the past." The show contrasted this with the significantly lower salaries teachers received under previous administrations, noting that a teacher in basic education during the Peña Nieto administration earned only 11,900 pesos, while now they earn 17,000 pesos. The program also discussed the importance of ongoing dialogue and collaboration with teachers, emphasizing their crucial role in the nation's development. This policy shift represents a positive step toward recognizing and valuing the contributions of educators in Mexico.
