On February 13, it was announced that Marx Arriaga Navarro was removed from his position as the director general of Educational Materials at the Secretariat of Public Education (SEP) in Mexico. This sudden change has stirred controversy and discussions regarding the responsibilities and impacts of this role within the educational framework of the country. Arriaga's dismissal has drawn attention not only to his tenure but also to the broader implications for educational materials and policies in Mexico.

Following Arriaga's removal, Nadia López García was appointed as the new head of the Directorate of Educational Materials (DGME). This directorate plays a crucial role within the SEP, being responsible for updating the content, functionality, and usage of Free Textbooks and providing a variety of educational materials, both physical and digital, to schools. It also works to enhance the resources available in school libraries, thus impacting the quality of education and accessibility of learning materials across the nation.

The Directorate of Educational Materials holds significant importance in shaping the educational landscape in Mexico, as it directly influences how knowledge is distributed and consumed in schools. In an era where educational resources are continuously evolving, the transition in leadership raises questions about the direction and effectiveness of educational content provided to students. As changes unfold under the new leadership, stakeholders in the education sector will be observing closely whether the DGME can maintain or enhance its role in supporting education in Mexico.
