More than 25 million Mexican public preschool, primary and secondary education students are due to return to in-person classes on Monday, Aug. 29.

Mexico’s 2022-2023 school year will last through July 26 of next year, with an obligatory and controversial study plan designed by the Public Education Secretariat (SEP) to showcase the government of President Andrés Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO).

In an effort to prevent covid-19 contagion, all students will be required to use a face mask indoors and to carry a spare mask as well.
