Cancún, Quintana Roo — More than 480,000 students across Quintana Roo will get a long weekend for the commemoration of the Mexican Revolution, though the break starts on different days depending on the level of study.
According to figures from the Quintana Roo Education Department (SEQ), about 350,000 basic-education students will have no classes on Friday and will return to school on Tuesday, Nov. 17.
More than 132,000 high school and university students will join them from Saturday. Those students do have classes on Friday and will also resume their studies on Tuesday.
The three-day break gives families a chance to visit beaches, parks and other tourist attractions on the Mexican Caribbean coast, as well as to eat at restaurants and shop, a date that can also boost local economic activity.
It will be one of the last extended breaks before the winter vacation period. Under the school calendar, classes end on Friday, Dec. 18, and vacations begin on Monday, Dec. 21 for the Christmas and New Year holidays.
