The Mexican
Secretariat of Public Education (
in Spanish ''Secretaría de Educación Pública'', ''SEP'') is a federal government authority with
cabinet representation and the responsibility for overseeing the development and implementation of national educational policy and school standards in Mexico. Its
headquarters has several buildings distributed throughout the country, but its main offices, initially confined to the Old
Dominican Convent of the Holy Incarnation in the
oldest borough of Mexico City, have extended to the House of the Marqués de Villamayor, (also known as the ''Casa de los adelantados de Nueva Galicia'', built in 1530), the Old House of don Cristóbal de Oñate, a three-time governor and general captain of New Galicia (also built in 1530), and the Old Royal Customs House (built in 1730–1731). Some of the buildings were decorated with
mural paintings by
Diego Rivera and other notable exponents of the Mexican muralist movement of the twentieth century,
David Alfaro Siqueiros,
Raul Anguiano, and
Manuel Felguerez.
