Mexico’s Basic Schools Return to Class Monday Under SEP Calendar

Officials report schools are ready, with no alarming incidents during the break.

Overview

  • Mexico’s basic education system, which resumes Monday, brings back 23.4 million students and more than 1.2 million teachers.
  • SEP confirms there is no staggered return, so preschool, primary and secondary students all go back at the same time.
  • State education leaders cite coordinated vigilance with municipal police and parent committees during Semana Santa, and teams start campus inspections Monday.
  • Families can plan around no-class dates on May 1, May 5 and May 15, plus teacher workdays on May 29 and June 26, with classes ending July 15.
  • Teachers say the post-break stretch will focus on checking progress and closing learning gaps before grades are filed July 3 and final report cards are issued July 14–15.
