Tijuana, May 23.- The Tijuana Institute of Technology (ITT) canceled in-person classes this Thursday, May 23, "due to the gasoline shortage affecting our city."
"On May 23, 2024, all classes will be taught online. This measure is being implemented to ensure the continuity of academic activities during this semester closure," reads the statement the school issued on social media.
For this reason, the ITT expressed its urging on the teaching community to coordinate and adapt their classes to online learning.
It's worth noting that May 23rd is Student Day in Mexico, but it's not designated as a day off for teachers or students, which is why classes at the TEC will remain online.
Secretary General of Government Alfredo Álvarez Cárdenas emphasized yesterday that there is no shortage, nor is there any forecast of a "zero" shortage in the state—but there are supply problems—following reports that fuel has run out due to the blockade maintained by members of the Maclovio Rojas Márquez community at the Pemex plant in Playas de Rosarito.
Since the afternoon of Tuesday, May 21, gas stations in Tijuana and Rosarito Beach have been crowded due to fears of fuel shortages.
