A federal decree suspended school activities in Mexico City on 30 June 2026 for World Cup event operations. The closure covered public and private schools at the listed levels and was paired with telework measures for federal agencies.
What Changed?
Schools in Mexico City at preschool, primary, secondary, normal education, and SEP-dependent upper secondary and higher education levels had to suspend activities on 30 June 2026. Federal administrative offices in Mexico City also shifted to distance, telework, or flexible work arrangements for that date.
Old System vs New System
Before the decree, 30 June 2026 was not covered by this specific federal school suspension order, so schools would have followed normal calendar arrangements or separate local instructions.
For 30 June 2026, covered schools in Mexico City did not hold school activities. The measure was tied to event-related mobility management and applied only to the stated location and education levels.
Who Is Affected?
Student Impact
Students in covered Mexico City institutions had no regular school activities on 30 June 2026 and needed to follow school communication about any classwork or assessment changes.
Parent / Family Impact
Families had to plan for a one-day change to school attendance, transport, and supervision routines.
School / Institution Impact
Schools had to suspend academic activities, notify their communities, and manage any needed rescheduling of lessons, exams, or services.
Teacher / Staff Impact
Teachers had to adjust lesson pacing and follow institutional guidance for any work affected by the one-day suspension.
