The Baja California government invested 543.1 million pesos in basic education infrastructure during 2025 and 2026, financing new construction, renovations and campus improvements at schools across the state’s seven municipalities.
According to the Baja California government, education infrastructure spending increased from 221.3 million pesos in 2025 to 321.8 million pesos in 2026, allowing officials to expand projects in communities with long-standing facility needs and improve conditions at hundreds of campuses.
Gov. Marina del Pilar Avila Olmeda said education remains a priority for her administration and said investments in school infrastructure are intended to strengthen learning environments while supporting the academic and personal development of children and adolescents throughout Baja California.
The investment funded construction of 105 new educational spaces, including classrooms, administrative offices, restroom facilities and USAER special education classrooms. The program also included the construction of 39 school cafeterias, 83 projects focused on campus safety and student coexistence, 5 multiuse sports courts, and comprehensive rehabilitation work at 288 schools.
Education Secretary Irma Martínez Manríquez said the funding is being allocated through strategic planning and transparent management to address each school’s highest-priority needs. She said projects include new construction, campus expansions and renovations designed to improve educational facilities across the state.
Martínez said the improvements provide students, teachers and school communities with safer and more functional spaces for learning, recreation and daily activities, benefiting thousands of students in Baja California’s seven municipalities.
Avila Olmeda said her administration plans to continue investing in public education infrastructure, saying access to safe and well-maintained school facilities is an important part of improving quality of life for families throughout the state.
The governor also highlighted federal investments in higher education, including construction of campuses for the National Rosario Castellanos University in Tijuana and Mexicali. She said those projects, combined with the state’s investments in basic education infrastructure, will expand educational opportunities and strengthen the education system in Baja California.
