After a young girl’s death, Mexico shuts down all militarized grade schools

After false and conflicting reports by school officials on how the 13-year-old student lost her life, medical examiners provided evidence that led government authorities to categorize her death as not accidental.

Mexico's federal education ministry has ordered the definitive closure of all private schools operating under a militarized model, giving them until August 31 to cease operations. The crackdown follows a teenager's death at a summer camp and parent complaints of abuse.
