The Secretary of Education of Guanajuato, Jorge Enrique Hernández Meza, lamented the death of five students from the Barrón Telebachillerato incorporated into the Virtual University of the State of Guanajuato (UVEG).
“We have been in contact with the three teachers of the institution who are very shocked, with the families, with the students who were on one side of the events who were severely affected.”
The community telehigh school in which the young people deprived of life studied remained closed this Tuesday and there is still no certainty on what date classes will resume, while the streets of towns reflect little mobility due to the terror suffered by the community.
