In the 2025-2026 school calendar outlined by Mexico's SEP, primary and basic education students will enjoy a four-day bridge from January 30 to February 2, 2026—the first extended break after resuming classes. Workers, however, only get three days off.
Following winter vacations ending January 12, students return for two weeks of classes before this initial bridge: Friday, January 30 (monthly School Technical Council), the January 31-February 1 weekend, and Monday, February 2 (Constitution Day, moved from February 5).
This gives basic education students (preschool, primary, secondary) four full days off, while office workers ('Godínez') only pause on Monday, totaling three days with the weekend.
The SEP calendar, adjusted to 185 school days (reduced by one week per President Sheinbaum's five extra teacher vacation days on May 15), includes further breaks like March 16 (Benito Juárez), Easter (March 30-April 13), May 1 (Labor Day), May 5 (Battle of Puebla), and May 15 (Teacher's Day). The school year ends July 15, 2026.
