Overview
- The Secretaría de Educación Pública (SEP) reversed a planned nationwide early finish and maintained July 15 as the official end of the 2025–2026 school year while allowing state authorities to advance local end dates.
- Several states have published earlier end dates or adjusted in-person schedules, including Nuevo León (July 8), Yucatán (June 26), Baja California Sur (July 3), Colima (June 25) and Sinaloa (earlier in-person wind‑down with a July 10 cycle end).
- The education group Mexicanos Primero reported that Colima, Yucatán and Baja California Sur reduced instructional time below the SEP’s 185‑day standard, affecting about 695,896 basic‑education and 169,606 upper‑secondary students.
- Teacher unions in Baja California’s hot zones formally asked for heat-driven changes, proposing June 12 as a last day for in-person classes with remote work from June 15–30 to protect students and staff from extreme temperatures.
- The official SEP calendar still schedules key Consejo Técnico Escolar sessions and megapuentes on May 29, June 26 and July 3, so families and schools must track both federal administrative dates and new state decisions for final evaluations and grade uploads.
