Overview
- The Secretaría de Educación Pública (SEP) said on June 13 that the national basic-education calendar remains unchanged and schools will operate as usual on Thursday, June 18.
- The SEP granted host-city education authorities flexibility to adjust hours or switch to virtual classes so local officials can manage traffic and stadium access.
- The Mexico vs. South Korea group match is set for Thursday, June 18 at 19:00 at Estadio Guadalajara in Zapopan, Jalisco, which is why Guadalajara-area schools are the main focus for possible local measures.
- The federal ministry had already authorized advancing summer vacation for basic schools in 10 states, with end dates such as Chihuahua on June 19 and Colima on June 25 that will affect when those students stop attending.
- Education authorities are urging parents to wait for official school or state circulars, to avoid unjustified absenteeism, and to expect similar traffic-management moves after the tournament's June 11 opening prompted early departures and home-office measures.
