A proposal to establish school supply exchange points across Mexico City aims to alleviate the financial strain on families preparing for the upcoming school year. Deputy Elizabeth Mateos of the Morena party put forward the initiative, suggesting the creation of safe and accessible locations for exchanging essential items.

The plan involves setting up these exchange points in all 16 mayoralties of the city. Families would be able to donate or trade items such as uniforms, footwear, backpacks, and school materials that are still in good condition. This would provide a cost-effective alternative to purchasing new supplies.

Mateos highlighted that the initiative seeks to reduce the expenses families face during the back-to-school period. By facilitating the exchange of pre-owned items, the program intends to promote resourcefulness and support families struggling with the rising costs of education-related necessities.
