REYNOSA, Tamaulipas — About 150 students started classes Monday at a new technical high school in Reynosa built around three fields expected to play a growing role in the region’s industrial workforce: artificial intelligence, semiconductors and bionics.
CBTIS 312 began its first semester Aug. 31 while construction continues on its permanent campus in Puerta Grande. The school is expected to eventually accommodate about 900 students in two shifts.
Its three technical programs put emerging technologies into the classroom in a city whose economy is heavily tied to manufacturing, electronics, automation and cross-border supply chains.
“The trends and what is coming require more technology in education,” said Alejandro Pérez González, acting director of CBTIS 312.
