PREFECO (or Preparatoria Federal por Cooperación English: Cooperation Federal Preparatory) has locations in 22 states.
Began in the year 1938 as an educational project led by President Lázaro Cárdenas. The PREFECO main feature is their support comes from various organizations and federal, state, municipal, and social organizations primarily interested in the educational development of their community.
PFLC or Preparatoria Federal Lázaro Cárdenas (English: Lazaro Cardenas Federal Preparatory School) has a location in the state of Baja California.
Began in October 1946 as a "Cooperation Preparatory". In 1960, the school joins the Autonomous University of Baja California, thus giving rise to the University in the area, without losing its dependence on the SEP. Adopted in 1970 the name "Lazaro Cardenas", and in 1973, was established as a federal school by presidential agreement. Its support is entirely dependent on federal subsidies.
There are 110 PREFECOs and one PFLC in México.
