Marx Arriaga Navarro, former director of Educational Materials at SEP, has remained in his office since February 13, 2026, and claims he has not received formal dismissal notice. The Secretariat of Public Education appointed Nadia López García as his replacement on February 16, following disagreements over changes to free textbooks. President Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed the departure stemmed from differences regarding gender topics and women's history inclusion.
Mario Delgado, head of the SEP, stated there was an agreement for Marx Arriaga to resign as director of Educational Materials before February 15, though he rejected an offer to represent Mexico abroad. Claudia Sheinbaum assured that the New Mexican School and textbooks will not change, despite the conflict. Arriaga denounces an eviction attempt and defends educational principles.

Ayon sa ulat ng Southeast Asia Primary Learning Metrics (SEA-PLM) 2024, 42% ng mga mag-aaral sa grado 5 sa Pilipinas nagbabahagi ng mga textbook sa pagbasa, na nagpapakita ng malaking pagbaba sa availability nito kumpara sa 2019. Ang 52% lamang ang may sariling textbook, habang 7% ay walang access sa mga ito. Ito ay mas mababa kumpara sa ibang bansa sa Timog-Silangang Asya tulad ng Myanmar at Vietnam na may 100% na may sariling kopya.
