According to Irene Quintanar Mejía, General Coordinator of USEBEQ (Basic Education Services Unit of the State of Querétaro), this strategy aims to prevent risky situations and safeguard the well-being and safety of students, teachers, and administrative support staff. She stated that it is therefore necessary to work continuously to strengthen the mechanisms for addressing and detecting these situations, thereby creating spaces of peace and healthy coexistence in school environments.
Regarding the culture of peace, USEBEQ offers various training sessions and workshops on self-care, the value of healthy coexistence, the responsible use and management of social media and digital citizenship, and the recognition and management of emotions. In the last year, these programs have reached 26,374 children and adolescents, 11,595 parents or guardians, and 5,450 teachers.
