Veracruz Teachers Demand Clarity in 2025-2026 Placement Process
Table of Contents
Teachers in the State of Veracruz are urgently calling for a swift and clear resolution to the ongoing assignment process for the 2025-2026 school year, encompassing both General Primary Education and Higher Secondary Education. Educators express concern over inequitable notification practices and a lack of available positions despite documented teacher shortages.
The frustration stems from a perceived lack of clarity in the assignment of definitive placements, with reports indicating that only a portion of eligible teachers have received official notifications. “We have been fighting for a place in the SEP [Secretariat of Public Education] and we need to work to ensure students receive a better education,” one teacher stated, speaking on behalf of many affected educators.
Uneven Communication Fuels Anxiety
The core of the issue appears to be inconsistent communication. Teachers report that while some colleagues have received assignment emails, many others remain in limbo, unsure of their employment status for the upcoming academic year. This disparity is notably troubling given the documented need for educators across the state.
“It has been possible to have the prospect to work,” a concerned teacher explained,”but we want answers as to why there are schools without teachers and no job opportunities.” The lack of timely facts is creating meaningful anxiety among educators who have met the requirements for placement.
Calls for Action Reach Top officials
The teachers are directly appealing to Governor Rocio Nahle and Secretary of Education Claudia Tello to expedite the process and address the concerns regarding transparency. They emphasize the importance of adhering to the established priority list when making assignments.

Teachers are urging officials to prioritize their needs and ensure that all eligible educators are promptly informed of their assignments. The hope is that a swift resolution will allow them to focus on preparing for the 2025-2026 school year and providing the best possible learning experience for students.
