After the mandatory rest imposed by the Ministry of Public Education (SEP) This Friday, November 22, due to the administrative discharge, many students and parents are wondering if classes will also be suspended on Friday, November 29.
According to the SEP calendar, on the last Friday of each month the School Technical Council (CTE) is held in basic education schools, but this month of November another Friday is already marked with administrative activities that many wonder if it will replace the CTE.

Here we will tell you whether or not preschool, primary and secondary students will enjoy another long weekend, prior to their December holidays.
What breaks does the SEP calendar mark for November?
According to the 2024-2025 school calendar published by the SEP, the month of November 2024 has three days of mandatory rest, one for the commemoration of the Mexican Revolution and two more, 22 and 29, for administrative activities that It involves teachers and school administrators.
Will there be cases on Friday, November 29, 2024?
In reality, November has more days of rest because two administrative activities of the teachers coincide, the first that we already mentioned is Friday the 22nd due to the downloading of grades on the SEP platform; This only happens three times during the entire school year.
On Friday, November 29, students will not attend classes because, as is done every last Friday of the month, teachers will hold their School Technical Council.
This information resolves the doubt regarding whether the administrative discharge replaces the Technical Council during the penultimate month of the year.
What do teachers do on Technical Council day?
The School Technical Council are meetings held by basic level educational authorities (preschool, primary and secondary) before the start of the school year and on the last Friday of each month.
The director of each educational centre (public or private), as well as all the teaching staff, meet to propose and execute common decisions to resolve problems and establish the academic achievements and pedagogical needs of the students.
The Technical Councils seek to promote educational lag in schools through the exchange of experiences in which the entire school structure is involved for adequate execution and results.

What days will there be no classes in December according to the SEP calendar?
For December, students will also have several days off, but this time it will not be for administrative activities and teachers and administrators will be able to enjoy them equally.
The days without classes marked on the SEP calendar in December correspond to the long-awaited holidays for Christmas and the end of the year.
According to the calendar, the vacation period will begin on Thursday, December 19 and will probably end until Thursday, January 9, this because teachers and directors will have intensive workshops or on Monday the 3rd if these workshops do not interfere with classes.
Now that you know that a new long weekend awaits the students, prepare, if possible, for a new weekend getaway or plan who you will leave them in charge of while you have to work.

Dr. Alejandro Torres: Great question! Based on the information from the SEP calendar, classes will not be held on November 29th. That day is reserved for the School Technical Council, which occurs on the last Friday of each month.
Maria Gonzalez: So, to clarify, the Technical Council meeting is separate from the recent administrative activities like the grade downloading that occurred on November 22nd?
Dr. Alejandro Torres: Exactly! This month is unique because we have two administrative events. The grade download on the 22nd and the Technical Council on the 29th. The Technical Council meetings are essential for educators as they collaboratively address academic challenges and strategize improvements.
Maria Gonzalez: It sounds like a critical time for teachers. Can you share more about what happens during these Technical Council meetings?
Dr. Alejandro Torres: Of course! The Technical Councils are gatherings of all teaching staff led by the school directors where they discuss important issues, school performance, and pedagogical strategies. It’s a time for them to exchange experiences and develop action plans for the academic progress of their students.
Maria Gonzalez: This makes perfect sense! Now, what can parents and students expect in December? Beyond the usual holidays, are there any specific breaks outlined?
Dr. Alejandro Torres: Yes, December is much anticipated as it includes winter holidays. According to the SEP calendar, students will enjoy a break for Christmas and New Year’s celebrations, which, unlike the breaks in November, are purely for holiday enjoyment rather than administrative activities.
Maria Gonzalez: That’s a relief to know! So, to wrap up, students can expect a long weekend this month due to the Administrative Day and Technical Council but can look forward to a well-deserved vacation in December.
Dr. Alejandro Torres: Precisely! It’s important for both parents and students to be informed so they can plan accordingly. These breaks are beneficial for everyone involved in education.
