Mexico's Secretary of Public Education, Mario Delgado Carrillo, announced that the 2025-2026 school calendar will remain without modifications across the country.
The decision provides stability for millions of students and teachers who had faced uncertainty over potential shifts in the academic schedule. Maintaining a consistent timeline prevents disruptions to learning and administrative planning within the national education system.
Delgado said the decision was a unanimous agreement reached among the 32 state education secretaries [1]. This coordination ensures that all regions of the country follow the same timeline, avoiding discrepancies between state and federal guidelines.
Under the current schedule, the 2025-2026 school cycle is set to conclude on July 15, 2026 [2]. The confirmation clarifies that there will be no additional vacations or extensions added to the existing term.
"The 2025-2026 school calendar will remain without modifications," Delgado said.
Despite the official confirmation, some reports indicated conflicting information regarding potential changes. While a spokesperson for the Secretariat of Public Education (SEP) confirmed the permanence of the current calendar, other sources suggested that return dates were still being analyzed as proposals.
However, the SEP maintains that the current framework is final. The agreement among state secretaries serves as the primary mechanism to ensure the 2025-2026 cycle finishes as planned [1].
“The 2025-2026 school calendar will remain without modifications.”
The decision to maintain the calendar reflects a priority for administrative consistency over flexible scheduling. By securing a unanimous agreement from all 32 state secretaries, the federal government aims to eliminate regional disparities in school end dates, which often complicate national standardized testing and academic transitions.
