Cancún, Quintana Roo — The National Academic Festival of the Colleges of Scientific and Technological Studies (CECyTE) 2026 opened in Cancún on Tuesday, bringing together students, teachers, and education officials from 29 Mexican states for three days of academic, cultural, and integration activities.
Governor Mara Lezama Espinosa inaugurated the event at the Technological University of Cancún, one of the most important gatherings for upper-secondary technological education in Mexico.
Lezama emphasized the importance of creating spaces that strengthen students’ academic and personal development, and promote science, technology, and values as tools for social transformation.
