The Ministry of Public Education confirms that, despite the proximity of holiday dates in May, there is no official suspension of activities for six consecutive days, maintaining the 2025-2026 school calendar without federal administrative alterations to form a megabridge.

Clarity on extended rest and school operations
The end of the spring vacation period has generated uncertainty among the educational community regarding the configuration of breaks in the second quarter of the year. Although versions are circulating about a possible break of almost a week, current regulations establish specific days off that are not automatically linked to create a period of prolonged absence. The management of school time is essential for the fulfillment of study plans before the end of the school year.
Analysis of festive dates and the possibility of local adjustments
The 2026 school calendar presents a particular configuration during the transition from April to May. This situation arises due to the proximity of the following anniversaries:
- April 30: Children’s Day (Thursday). It remains a regular work and school day.
- May 1: Labor Day (Friday). Official suspension of teaching and administrative duties.
- May 5: Battle of Puebla (Tuesday). Day of rest for the educational sector, although it is not considered an official holiday for the general labor sector.
The coincidence of these dates motivates the interest in extending the break from Thursday, April 30 to Tuesday, May 5. However, this practice does not have institutional support. Any modification to this structure could only occur under exceptional conditions such as weather contingencies, high regional impact events or specific internal agreements of each campus, always under the supervision of local authorities.
Children’s Day
Thursday work and school. There is no official suspension scheduled on the SEP calendar.
01 May: Suspension
Labor Day
Friday official holiday (Federal Labor Law). Long weekend confirmed.
Continuity Line
Note: May 5 (Tuesday) is school suspension, but Monday the 4th is Business Day. There is no official 6-day long weekend.

Any modification to the calendar would only be given by official notice from the SEP or contingency. Planning based on official days is recommended.

Taking an unofficial break from April 30 to May 5 could create gaps in learning and affect student attendance records. The institutions recommend maintaining direct communication with school management to find out if there are flexibility measures, but they emphasize that legal validity only resides in the days marked by the SEP.
For effective planning, only the rest days that remain firmly in the educational agenda for this year should be considered:
The publication of the agenda for the next school year will be made soon, but compliance with the current calendar continues to be the priority for the national education system.
