Mexico Cancels Early School Year End Plans for World Cup Amid Heat Concerns
Mexico's Ministry of Public Education (SEP) has canceled plans to end the school year early on June 5, reverting to the original July 15 end date. The proposed early closure was due to the World Cup and anticipated extreme heat.
Parents were angry at a proposal to end classes on 5 June instead of 15 July due to the tournament and expected extreme heat.
