Héctor Ruiz Mejía (Jocotepec).- Francisco Díaz Aguirre, the new director of the Regional High School of Jocotepec of the University of Guadalajara (U of G), was sworn in on May 17. The event took place at the Enrique Díaz de León Auditorium in Guadalajara, where the list of academics who will direct the U de G’s high schools during the period 2022-2025 was made public. Ricardo Villanueva Lomelí, the general rector of the U of G, announced the new appointments.
So far, the new principal is still in the process of handing over the responsibilities of his former position and has not yet been on site at the Regional High School. However, Lourdes Álvarez Cerna, who directed the institution from 2015-2018 and 2019-2022 said she was satisfied with the choice of Díaz Aguirre (Paco), as her successor. «I feel very calm, very satisfied because I know Paco very well. He is very empathetic with young people and very committed. He has my full support and I am sure that he will continue with all the projects in progress,» she stated.
Álvarez Cerna said that, although she will no longer be the school’s director, she will continue as a teacher, «I am not sad. It is something that was already coming, the contract expired and there is a need for new blood to lead the school. I will continue teaching here.»
Finally, Ávarez Cerna, after expressing her good wishes for the administration of «Maestro Paco,» emphasized that one of the main challenges to be taken on by the administration is that of young people and addictions and the psychological, social and economic effects left behind by the pandemic.
