As a way to prevent the crowds that are generated in the next World Cup exhibit the delay in improvement works in Mexico City and elsewhere Entities such as Guadalajara and Monterrey, as well as in the rest of the country, government authorities will advance the end of the school cycle to next June 5.

Unlike the two previous editions and with much fewer matches scheduled in the headquarters of Mexico in the 2026 worldwide fair, the authorities seek to find a solution to silence criticism as for delaying the approval of the budget to remodel several works in the world headquarters and in the other entities of the country, to try to make sure the celebrations does not affect school attendance.

A decision that seems illogical, since it would take two months earlier than usual and without the curriculum plan for students at the primary and secondary level, c with the intention supposedly that they can attend the world celebrations and also be affected as-least-possible by the stifling heat that attacks Mexico on these dates.

The Secretary of Public Education (SEP) officially confirmed an adjustment to the 2025-2026 school calendar for public and private education schools basic and higher median throughout the country, which would cause the end of classes to be six days before the opening match between Mexico and South Africa.

The approach was approved unanimously during the LXVI National Plenary Ordinary 2026 Meeting of the National Council of Authorities Educational (Conaedu), in which 32 state educational authorities participated together with the head of SEP, Mario Delgado Carrillo.

According to the approach of the governmental authorities, the change responds to two factors that concern the federative zones, such as the higher areas temperatures in several regions of the country and the holding of the 2026 World Soccer World , which will have as CDMX, Guadalajara and Monterrey.

The SEP reported that at least 10 federal entities had previously requested a modification to the school calendar due to extreme weather conditions that could affect millions of students.

But the main reason is that the authorities, together with the National Union of Education Workers (SNTE), analyzed e The impact that the World Football will have on the mobility and operation of the host cities, especially the crowds congregations arias that could generate a bad image about the lack of planning in the works they carried out and that have generated so much criticism s like the famous cycle path in a main circulation artery from north to south and vice versa of CDMX, like the Calzada of Tlalpan.

In said communication way a cycle path was built that has not demonstrated its efficiency and on the contrary, reduced two lanes in circulation. road to the degree that road knots are generated daily and that in the Worldwide, in the eyes of foreign tourism, could generate a crisis.

The federal dependency indicated that this decision seeks to protect the health and safety of girls, boys and adolescents without compromising compliance with study plans and programs.

The home office could be an alternative

Another important point is that the federal government has also entered into negotiations with the business sector with the purpose of granting the participation days. two home office schemes with the same purpose of avoiding circulation cuts and affectation of citizens, primarily on the days that Mexico plays.
