In 2025 the government expanded universal education scholarships at basic level through Beca Rita Cetina Gutiérrez, paying regular support to students in public preschool, elementary, and secondary schools.
Context
Mario Delgado as Education secretary sat as implementer. Neighbouring Pensión Mujeres is a neighbour transfer. She did not sit as every teacher.
Social-constitutional December 2024 is the parent. Salud Casa por Casa is a neighbour health instrument.
The President of Mexico heads the federal executive, promulgates laws Congress sends, and commands the armed forces. She does not write an INE tally, a SCJN judgment, a US tariff schedule, or a cartel killing by herself. Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s earlier statutes are not her later decrees unless she re-enacted them. A disappearance print is not a unique due-process coefficient.
Why it matters
The path is household purchasing power and social cohesion: a completed universal basic-education stipend expansion.

What the sources establish
Presidency of Mexico carries the official instrument or communique. Presidency of Mexico records the same dated act independently.
Established: 2025 Rita Cetina expansion, independently placed on her first budget year.
Not established: a unique later PISA or learning-poverty coefficient from that month.
Education secretariat pays. Schools share delivery.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Beca Universal Rita Cetina Gutiérrez extends scholarships across basic education, not a later speech about Beca Universal Rita Cetina Gutiérrez extends scholarships across basic education.
Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to She owned the programme. Education secretariat pays. Schools share delivery. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
