Controversies

Sexual abuse of an underage student with a disability

On March 11, 2025, a group of five students sexually assaulted another 16-year-old student with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder inside one of the restrooms at the Las Torres High School campus in Monterrey, Nuevo León.[6][7][8][9] On March 14, three days after the incident, students on campus protested with banners against the incident, expressing solidarity with the victim after he had been suspended for three days for defending himself during the attack and demanding that educational authorities ensure that the case does not go unpunished.[6][7][10] The Nuevo León Attorney General's Office reported that agents had gone to the school to begin their investigation. Subsequently, the Public Ministry received a complaint along with the investigation file.[11][6] Through his social media accounts, Nuevo León Governor Samuel García reported that he was aware of the case and in contact with the relevant authorities, requesting clarification and stating that follow-up would be provided.[12][13]

Mr. Rangel Sostmann wants to take Tec's "brand" further by moving it into new market segments and extending access. Thus, in smaller and poorer cities that do not have the resources to set up a campus, there is a new brand: TecMilenio. Students at one of these facilities can combine study with work and have most of their contact with professors via distance learning. There are no extracurricular activities and no sports facilities. However, they use the same materials as students on campus, take the same exams, and receive the same qualifications. Critically, they pay less.
