However, although the cancellation of classes normally arises due to holidays, this time, as explained by the SEP, it is due to the holding of the School Technical Council.
Every year, teachers suspend activities for minors on the last Friday of each month to hold the Technical Council session, in which they plan the contents of the next block.
During this meeting, Teachers throughout Mexico are responsible for making pedagogical and management decisions to improve educational servicein addition to analyzing the challenges they faced during the month.
For this reason, and with the aim of giving teachers space to evaluate areas of improvement in their classes, Children will return to their activities normally until Monday, November 3.
As can be seen in the calendar, the next holiday will take place on November 17, in this case as part of the commemoration of the Mexican Revolution, while the last one of the year will be on November 28, also for the sessions of the Technical Council.
