Mexico overturns decision to end school year early due to World Cup

School’s not yet out for the summer.

Mexico’s education minister announced the country has overturned its decision to end the school year six weeks early due to the World Cup and hot weather.

Mario Delgado announced their school year will end on July 15 as originally planned, a reversal of the decision made just days earlier to end school on June 5.

The earlier end date would have lopped six weeks from the school calendar. The move was considered because of “an extraordinary heatwave, the World Cup and other factors,” Delgado said.

The education department faced backlash when it originally said it would be closing schools early because of traffic from the 13 World Cup matches in Mexico and scorching temperatures, according to Mexico News Daily.
