Mexico keeps school calendar unchanged after backlash over World Cup plan

Mexico's education authorities agreed on Monday to keep the 2025-2026 ​school calendar unchanged, reversing a proposed early end to the academic year that had drawn criticism from parents and raised questions about disruptions ​linked to the World Cup, Reuters reported. 

The federal ​education ministry and state authorities unanimously ⁠agreed to preserve the existing 185-day school ​calendar, Education Minister Mario Delgado said, meaning ​the school year will still end on July 15 as originally scheduled.
