Peru, Argentina and Mexico Finalize 2025–26 School Calendars, Detailing End Dates and Non-Class Days

Officials emphasize predictable schedules that weigh continuity of learning against time reserved for teacher councils.

Overview

  • Peru’s Education Ministry set Friday, December 19, 2025 as the final day of classes, using a blocks model that alternates nine-week teaching periods with management blocks that continue administratively from December 22.
  • Argentina confirmed province-by-province closures under the 190-day mandate, ranging from December 12 to 26, with CABA ending December 19, Buenos Aires Province December 22 and La Pampa on December 26.
  • SEP’s national calendar in Mexico programs 185 student days, with winter break from December 22, 2025 to January 9, 2026 and Semana Santa from March 30 to April 10, 2026.
  • Mexican basic education students (preescolar, primaria, secundaria) will have no classes on Friday, October 31 for a Consejo Técnico Escolar session, creating a long weekend while teachers attend the council meetings.
  • Outlets differ on Mexico’s total non-class days for 2025–26, with one list citing 15 and another 17 by including an extra grading day, reflecting varying counts of CTE sessions and administrative dates.
