In this sense, after the two days of inactivity in February, in the third month of the year, there will be one more day off.

In accordance with the official calendar approved by the educational authorities for the 2022-23 school year, the first day of inactivity for academic work will be Friday March 17. It is not a date stipulated in the Mexican festive calendar, on the contrary, it indicates the so-called day of administrative discharge, which is exclusively dedicated to teaching staff.

It should be noted that the dates planned as administrative downloads correspond to days when the student population does not come to class. The goal is for teachers to focus on exam assessment and draining qualifications in the public education system.
