The MEVyT is taught through basic and diversified modules that address different topics related to everyday life, also providing practicality to learning.

Slopes

MEVyT for Spanish Speakers It concentrates most of the attention in the country. This aspect also serves Mexican communities abroad.

MEVyT 10-14 It is a limited offer of the Spanish-speaking MEVyT that focuses on the characteristics and educational needs of children and young people between 10 and 14 years of age who could not complete their primary school due to health situations or confinement in social rehabilitation centers.

MEVyT Indígena Bilingüe (MIB) The MIB is aimed at the speaking populations of the different indigenous languages (HLI), which takes into account the linguistic characteristics of the learners, especially for their literacy or initial level. The MIB is characterized by conducting literacy in the mother tongue, in order to make it easier to transfer that ability and encourages bilingual learning considering Spanish as a second language. For this reason, educational care must be carried out by local bilingual advisers, from literacy to high school. http://www.inea.gob.mx/index.php/inicio-portal-inea/mevyt/eadulmevytindbc.html

In 2011 this educational model won the King Sejong Award prizes / unesco-king-sejong-prize / King Sejong-UNESCO Literacy Prize awarded by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), in literacy matter, in recognition of the efficiency in this area. The INEA obtained it for its bilingual literacy work in 42 indigenous communities in the country.

It is an educational option with materials and support didactic strategies, adapted to its characteristics, which requires advice and adequate learning spaces so that they can start, continue or conclude their studies.

MEVyT online The MEVyT online is the electronic modality of the MEVyT that allows you to study for free, primary or secondary. Its main characteristic is the ease of studying from a community plaza, your home, work, or any place that has a computer and Internet connection.
