Officials Finalize November School Calendars in Mexico and Peru, Confirm Argentina’s Four-Day Weekend

Authorities issue precise guidance to correct confusion about which holiday suspensions apply nationally versus only in specific regions.

Overview

  • Mexico’s Education Ministry confirms 18 effective class days in November, with no classes on Monday, Nov. 17 for the shifted Revolution Day observance and on Friday, Nov. 28 for the monthly School Technical Council session.
  • The SEP’s 2025–2026 basic education calendar maintains 185 instructional days and runs through July 2026.
  • Peru’s Education Ministry states classes proceed nationwide on Monday, Nov. 3, as the date is not a national holiday and applies only in Apurímac according to El Peruano.
  • The Peruvian government has not decreed a national long break for Nov. 3–4 or Nov. 5–7, and work and school schedules continue as usual outside the Apurímac regional observance.
  • Argentina sets a four-day break from Friday, Nov. 21 to Monday, Nov. 24, with Friday designated a non-working tourism day and Monday a moved national holiday for Sovereignty Day; separate media tallies in Mexico highlight that suspension counts vary depending on whether CTE and administrative days are included.
