Plumes of black smoke billowed from the rectangular-shaped headquarters of the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) in Guerrero state on Wednesday after masked protesters broke into the building and tossed chairs, papers and plants from windows.
Some spray-painted anti-government graffiti on the building, while others tore pictures of President Enrique Pena Nieto, who pushed through an overhaul of the nation's flagging education system with the backing of opposition parties.
Thousands of members of a teachers' union marched in the state capital, Chilpancingo, and groups wearing masks took their anger out on the offices of the PRI and three other political parties.
The protesters used pipes and sticks to destroy windows and doors at the local headquarters of the National Action Party (PAN), the Democratic Revolution Party (PRD) and the Citizen Movement. Protesters wrote "traitors of the people" on the PRD's walls.
Teachers have held protests in recent weeks, twice blocking the highway between Mexico City and the Pacific resort of Acapulco to denounce the reform that passed the federal Congress in December.
The latest demonstration erupted one day after the Guerrero state legislature approved an education bill that fell well short of protesters' demands to water down the federal law, which requires teachers to pass periodic tests to get jobs and promotions.
Chilpancingo mayor Mario Moreno asked for federal security support to control the situation.
"We as a municipality do not have the ability to face a mob of 4,000 or 5,000 people," Moreno told Milenio TV.
Meanwhile, students in schools to become teachers blocked two federal highways in the neighboring state of Michoacan, demanding that graduates from their college automatically get teaching positions.
Protests have also taken place in recent weeks in Oaxaca, which is among the country's poorest states along with Guerrero and Michoacan.
