The Ministry of Education of Guatemala (Mineduc Guatemala) issued a series of public service announcements on November 1, 2025, through its official Twitter account. The tweets focused on the cost-free nature of educational programs, dengue prevention measures in schools, and support for victims of sexual violence.
In a tweet posted at 21:00 UTC, Mineduc Guatemala reminded citizens that "Todos los programas del Ministerio de Educación son gratuitos. Si te piden dinero, denúncialo: al 1503. También en https://t.co/CwSVT06AA5 o de manera presencial en planta central y en las Direcciones Departamentales de Educación de tu localidad. Recuerda estar informado en https://t.co/p5C1HBubDs".
One hour later, at 22:00 UTC, the ministry addressed public health concerns related to mosquito-borne diseases by stating "¡Todos podemos contribuir en la prevención del dengue! Sigue estas recomendaciones en tu centro educativo para prevenir las larvas de los zancudos transmisores del dengue #SinZancudoNoHayDengue https://t.co/XMtNoRJxmr".
At 23:00 UTC on the same day, Mineduc Guatemala published a message about resources available for those facing sexual violence: "No enfrentes la violencia sexual sola (o). Hay apoyo para ti. #1510Cuéntalo #Denuncia #NoMásViolenciaSexual #Denuncia https://t.co/K67mBAJ6XG".
The Ministry of Education is responsible for overseeing educational policy and ensuring access to free education throughout Guatemala. It also coordinates with other government agencies on matters such as public health campaigns and social protection initiatives.
