Peru Keeps July 6 Off Official Holiday List

Minedu will still grant a day off to public-school teachers, so families should confirm attendance rules with private schools.

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.
