Latin American 2026‑27 school-year preparations
Entities: Instituto Chihuahuense de Infraestructura Física Educativa (Ichife) · Secretaría de Educación Pública (SEP) – México · Ministerio de Educación de Perú · Ecuador Ministry of Education · Gobierno de la Provincia de Tucumán (Argentina)
Overview
In early July 2026, Mexico's Education Ministry announced the school calendar for the 2026‑27 academic year and detailed plans to increase high‑school capacity.
By the end of the month, education authorities across Latin America—and some regional bodies in Europe—released coordinated back‑to‑school schedules for 2026‑27. Ecuador issued a phased enrollment timetable for the Sierra‑Amazonía region, while Mexico added a one‑time cash bonus for teachers and staff. The Dominican Republic distributed millions of textbooks, workbooks and school‑supply kits and began constructing additional classrooms. Local initiatives in Spain opened applications for early‑year school‑aid vouchers. Collectively, these measures aim to smooth student re‑entry, support educators financially, and ensure adequate classroom resources throughout the region.
