Students across Mexico are set to enjoy an extended break starting on October 31, leading into November. Notably, there will be no classes on November 3 for certain students, specifically those in the State of Mexico. This announcement has sparked interest and inquiries among parents and students alike.
No Classes on November 3: Key Details
The Mexican educational calendar, overseen by the Secretaría de Educación Pública (SEP), indicates several important dates. On October 31, all students will observe a “Consejo Técnico Escolar Sesión Ordinaria,” which means no classes that day. The schedule suggests that many students expected the following days around the Día de los Muertos to also be free of classes, as they align with a weekend.
Regional Class Cancellations
While the national calendar states that classes will resume on November 3, a notable exception exists. According to Jenaro Martínez Reyes, the Secretary General of the Sindicato de Maestros al Servicio del Estado de México (SMSEM), a decision made during a recent assembly allows for no classes on this day for students in the State of Mexico.
- October 31: No classes for all students (Consejo Técnico Escolar).
- November 1-2: Weekend (Día de los Muertos).
- November 3: No classes in the State of Mexico.
Important Reminders
Parents are encouraged to verify this information with their child’s school, as not all regions will observe the break on November 3. The confirmation from educational authorities also extends to teachers, ensuring clarity around the cancellation of classes.
Additional holidays on the SEP calendar include:
- November 17: Commemoration of the Mexican Revolution.
- November 28: Consejo Técnico Escolar Sesión Ordinaria.
This updated schedule aims to provide clarity and enhance planning for families navigating the academic calendar during this festive time of year.
