Teachers Continue to Support Students Despite Ongoing Strike in Tijuana
Even amidst an ongoing labor strike, teachers in Tijuana have been sending educational materials to students to ensure they do not fall behind during the 2024-2025 school year. The strike has deprived many students of face-to-face classes since the beginning of the academic year, but educators remain dedicated to their students’ education.
“Our teachers truly embody a service-oriented vocation. Even though they maintain the strike, they continue to stay in touch with both parents and students,” stated a representative. The Municipal Delegate of Education, Miguel Alfredo Nuño García, praised the teachers’ commitment to providing instructional materials to prevent any disruption in the children’s education.
Certain schools have been occupied due to unresolved teacher salary issues, affecting eight schools so far. However, the response has varied depending on each school’s resources and how directors coordinate with their educational communities. Some schools without internet access distribute physical workbooks or printed copies, while others facilitate virtual learning via various digital devices.
The experience gained during the 2020 pandemic has equipped students to adapt to different learning models, a sentiment echoed by delegates who noted how adept teachers have become at using social media and messaging apps as educational tools.

Parents Take Action Amid Educational Challenges in Tijuana
In a show of concern, parents in Tijuana have taken unprecedented steps in response to the ongoing challenges in the educational sector. Among these actions, parents of students at the Primary School 18 de Marzo in Otay have taken control of the premises to voice their grievances. Additionally, the Telesecundaria 37 witnessed disruptions as parents blocked a main boulevard demanding teachers for their children.
These moves highlight the escalating frustrations among parents who feel left out of crucial educational negotiations. With continued salary disputes leading to school occupations, community members are increasingly taking matters into their own hands to ensure their children’s right to education is protected.
As the situation develops, it remains vital for educators, parents, and authorities to collaborate towards holistic solutions that prioritize uninterrupted learning opportunities for all students.
