Cancun, Quintana Roo — The Quintana Roo Education Department (SEQ) has issued a warning about potential fraud during high school admissions, after detecting unauthorized individuals allegedly offering placements or shift changes in exchange for money.
Deputy Education Secretary for the Northern Zone, Alberto Tun Calderón, emphasized that no private party is authorized to carry out such procedures and reminded the public that all processes are free of charge.
The warning comes amid widespread dissatisfaction following the release of results for the “My Right, My Place Quintana Roo 2026” program, where numerous applicants were listed as “Without Assigned Place.” Parents have voiced concerns over the shortage of high school slots.
On social media, users reported that some students with strong academic records were not assigned to any of the schools they selected, even after listing up to 10 options. Others cited platform glitches, website congestion, and slow responses via WhatsApp and social media channels.
Tun Calderón urged families to seek official guidance directly at SEQ offices or its representatives in other municipalities, and to report any attempted fraud or improper charges to the authorities.
