The Ministry of Education of Guatemala (Mineduc Guatemala) shared a series of messages on November 12, 2025, highlighting its commitment to maintaining open classrooms and encouraging community participation in education and public health initiatives.

In a post published at 16:19 UTC, Mineduc Guatemala stated: " Este año defendimos un principio irrenunciable: la educación no se negocia. Gracias al compromiso de las comunidades educativas, las aulas permanecieron abiertas." This message emphasizes the ministry's stance that education is non-negotiable and credits educational communities for keeping schools operational throughout the year.

Later that day, at 22:00 UTC, the ministry addressed public health concerns by posting: "¡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". The tweet calls for collective action to prevent dengue by following guidelines in educational centers aimed at reducing mosquito larvae.

At 23:42 UTC on the same day, Mineduc Guatemala reinforced its focus on values in education with the statement: " La educación y la verdad construyen, mientras la mentira y la exclusión destruyen. Acompañemos la recuperación de la educación pública con compromiso y participación."

The Ministry of Education of Guatemala is responsible for formulating and implementing policies related to national education and frequently promotes community engagement as a means to strengthen both academic continuity and public health efforts across the country.
