The Mexican Secretary of Public Education clarifies that there will be no classes on February 24 due to the celebration of Flag Day, aligning with the school calendar.
Every February 24 in Mexico, Flag Day is commemorated, a significant historical event symbolizing national pride. There has been some uncertainty regarding whether this day is considered a holiday that would affect the school schedules of children in basic education. The Secretary of Public Education (SEP) has provided answers based on its official school calendar for the current academic year.
According to the SEP's academic calendar for the 2025-2026 school year, there are indeed official days of rest in February, including an extended break due to the alignment of school closures with the weekend. The first day of class suspension for basic education in February was officially recognized as February 2, which also commemorates a holiday.
This clarification is essential for parents and students in planning their activities around this holiday. With the upcoming extended weekend, families can organize their schedules accordingly, knowing that there will not be classes on February 24, allowing for a meaningful celebration of the national symbol and its significance.
