The Secretaría de Educación Pública (SEP) has issued an urgent alert regarding the presence of fraudulent websites aimed at students registering for upper secondary education in the Zona Metropolitana del Valle de México. This warning comes as the registration phase is set to conclude today, April 15, 2025.
In a formal announcement, the SEP advised secondary school graduates to exclusively use the official platform, miderechomilugar.gob.mx. Any websites with extensions such as .com or .org are deemed illegitimate, and registrations completed on these sites will not be recognized in the assignment process.
For those who may have made errors in their registration or who need assistance, the SEP strongly encourages students to visit the PILARES centers in Mexico City or the Centros de Orientación in the State of Mexico. These facilities offer access to computers and guidance to help complete the registration process.
To successfully register on the official platform, students must upload their educational certificates, validate personal information such as their CURP (Unique Population Registry Code), address, phone number, and provide a contact email address. The system is designed to allow students to create up to two lists of educational preferences, catering to their individual choices.
Among the educational options available are institutions like the Colegio de Bachilleres (Colbach), Conalep, and the Instituto de Educación Media Superior de la Ciudad de México (IEMS), as well as entities managed by the Subsecretaría de Educación Media Superior (SEMS), which includes the Dirección General de Educación Tecnológica Industrial (DGETI) and the Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México (UAEMéx).
Students intending to enroll in the Instituto Politécnico Nacional (IPN) or the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) must meet specific criteria, including achieving a minimum average of 7 in secondary school, passing the admission exam, and paying the required fees. If applicants are not accepted into these institutions, they are guaranteed a spot in any of the SEMS options they selected during registration.
The SEP emphasizes the importance of using only the official website, miderechomilugar.gob.mx, to ensure a secure and valid registration process. This newly unified model aims to promote equity in educational access through a centralized, digital, and transparent system.
As the registration deadline approaches, students are urged to act quickly to secure their places in the educational institutions of their choice. The SEP's initiative reflects a commitment to providing a streamlined process that accommodates the needs of all students in the region.
In conclusion, the SEP's alert serves as a crucial reminder for students and their families to remain vigilant against fraudulent online platforms while navigating the registration process for upper secondary education. By adhering to the guidelines set forth by the SEP and utilizing the official resources, students can ensure their educational aspirations are met without falling victim to scams.
