The Ministry of Education of Guatemala (Mineduc Guatemala) announced on December 1, 2025, that teachers can now request the issuance of their teaching credential online. The information was shared through a series of posts on the ministry's official X account.
In a tweet posted at 15:00 UTC, Mineduc Guatemala stated: "¡Atención, maestras y maestros! Ahora pueden solicitar la emisión de la Cédula Docente en línea Ingresa al link: https://t.co/v332t08FyH https://t.co/t5T01maCyI".
A minute later, the ministry reiterated the announcement in another post: "¡Atención, maestras y maestros! Ahora pueden solicitar la emisión de la Cédula Docente en línea Ingresa al link: https://t.co/v332t09dof https://t.co/hV0Ax0jimb".
Later that day, at 17:00 UTC, Mineduc Guatemala addressed the importance of trust in preventing sexual violence. The post read: " Construir relaciones basadas en la confianza, es clave para prevenir la violencia sexual. Hablemos, escuchemos, apoyemos. Si sabes de un caso, denúncialo al 1510. #NoMásViolenciaSexual #1510Cuéntalo #Denuncia https://t.co/N9t8XeBun2".
The Cédula Docente is an essential document for teachers in Guatemala as it certifies their professional status and allows them to work within the national education system. By enabling online applications for this credential, Mineduc seeks to streamline administrative processes and improve accessibility for educators across the country.
The ministry's campaign against sexual violence reflects ongoing efforts by Guatemalan authorities to address and prevent abuse within educational environments and beyond. The hotline number 1510 is provided as a resource for reporting cases confidentially and receiving support from relevant institutions.
