**A New Federal Public University to Open in Tijuana as of January**
Starting this January, students in Tijuana will have a new educational option with the opening of the federal public university, “Rosario Castellanos.” Baja California’s governor announced that the first semester will begin early next year at a location initially designated for the Judicial City, in La Encantada area on Bulevar 2000. This initiative is a part of efforts to boost higher education in regions with high crime rates, like the Eastern Zone.
The announcement follows a declaration by Mexico’s president, and the registrations for this new institution are set to begin in November. According to the state’s government secretary, the offered programs will focus on topics relevant to living at the border. Additionally, plans are underway for three new federal high schools in areas with the greatest educational needs.
