SEP 2026-2027: When will the first school break of the new cycle be? Consult the official calendar | El Universal (MX)

Mexican students in preschool, primary, and secondary schools may enjoy their first school break of the 2026-2027 academic year in September. The Secretariat of Public Education (SEP) has released its official calendar, outlining key dates for the upcoming cycle. While summer vacations are still underway for many, families are already looking ahead to the first significant pause. September 16, a mandatory holiday commemorating Mexican Independence Day, falls on a Tuesday. The SEP calendar also designates September 15 as a day for civic activities within schools. This proximity has fueled speculation among parents about a potential extended holiday weekend. However, as of now, there has been no official announcement confirming a suspension of classes on September 14 or 15. Any extension of the break would depend on federal educational authorities. The school year officially begins on Monday, August 31, 2026, for students in public and private institutions affiliated with the National Education System. Additionally, September 25 is marked as a day without school activities due to the Technical Council meeting.
