The Guanajuato Secretary of Education (SEG) reported that the more than 3,500 students enrolled in the Bachillerato Bivalente Militarizado will continue their studies normally, following an analysis of the documents recently issued by the Secretary of Public Education (SEP), which had ordered a national closure.
The state agency explained that the federal documents, issued on July 22 and 29, 2026, are primarily directed at basic education institutions and private schools, and therefore do not affect the operation of the public educational model functioning in Guanajuato.
SEG specified that there are no militarized private schools with Official Validity of Studies Recognition (RVOE) in the state and that, in compliance with federal provisions, no authorizations will be granted to provide basic education under names such as "militarized," "military," "military-style," or similar.
Regarding the Bachillerato Bivalente Militarizado, the agency noted that it is a public subsystem of higher secondary education, fully funded by state resources and created through Secretary Agreement 117/2018.
It also indicated that the programs in Cybersecurity, Civil Protection, and Citizen Security have the corresponding registration with the SEP, which was recently reaffirmed.
SEG clarified that this model is not part of the Military Educational System nor does it provide military training, but corresponds to a technological high school focused on strengthening academic training through values such as "discipline, leadership, responsibility, teamwork, and respect for human rights."
According to the agency, during its eight years of operation, 8,895 students have completed this educational model, and 3,341 have finished their studies. Additionally, 76% of graduates from the previous school year continued their education at higher education institutions.
Finally, the Guanajuato Secretary of Education assured that it will maintain coordination with the SEP to address any applicable provisions, while reiterating that the educational continuity of students will remain a priority.
