The Ministry of Education of Guatemala, known as Mineduc Guatemala, has shared updates on its recent initiatives and services through its official Twitter account. The tweets highlight the ministry's efforts in improving educational infrastructure, facilitating online certification of educational documents, and promoting healthy eating habits among students.

On November 7, 2025, Mineduc Guatemala announced: " Más de 18 mil centros educativos en todo el país han sido remozados por el Ministerio de Educación, fortaleciendo espacios seguros, dignos y adecuados para el aprendizaje de las niñas, los niños, adolescentes y jóvenes. Te invitamos a visitar la página de remozamientos y https://t.co/zvOPwDeT7E". This statement reflects the ministry's ongoing campaign to renovate over 18,000 educational centers nationwide to provide safer and more suitable learning environments for children and adolescents.

Later that day, the ministry posted another update regarding document certification services: "¡Certifica en línea tus documentos! Ahora el Ministerio de Educación certifica tus documentos educativos y de traductor jurado en línea, para que tengan validez en el extranjero por medio de la Apostilla que da el Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores de Guatemala. Entra al https://t.co/C7coW8fgRZ". The tweet informs users about the availability of online certification for educational documents and sworn translator certificates. These certifications can now be validated abroad through an apostille provided by the Guatemalan Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

In a subsequent post on November 7, 2025, Mineduc Guatemala emphasized health education: " ¡La salud de tus hijos empieza en casa! Prepara alimentos frescos y balanceados para evitar enfermedades. Una buena alimentación es clave para su bienestar. ¡Cuidemos juntos su salud! #ProgramaDeSaludEscolar https://t.co/UluJoXgtxO". The tweet encourages families to prepare fresh and balanced meals at home as part of its School Health Program.

These announcements are part of broader efforts by the Guatemalan government to enhance access to education and promote student well-being through infrastructure improvements and digital services. Online certification aims to streamline processes for Guatemalans seeking recognition of their academic credentials abroad.
