Overview
- El Peruano's official calendar does not list Monday, July 6 as a national holiday, so the date is not formally a non‑working day.
- The Ministry of Education has said routine activities proceed unless it issues a specific order, but it continues the customary practice of suspending classes in public schools for the Day of the Teacher.
- Private schools are not required to suspend classes and may decide independently whether students should attend on July 6.
- Parents are advised to check directly with their children’s school because implementation will vary by institution and locality, affecting childcare and travel plans.
- The Day of the Teacher is an annual commemoration to honor educators and the ministry’s suspension applies to schooling only and does not halt other public or private sector operations.
