La Nación, a prominent Costa Rican newspaper, published several updates on November 15, 2025, addressing both political and educational developments in the country.
In one post, La Nación reported on the start of Eli Feinzaig’s campaign following a recent incident: “Eli Feinzaig inicia su campaña tras accidente en el que falleció asesora legislativa https://t.co/nBOL37grOf” (posted November 15, 2025).
On education matters, La Nación highlighted significant changes to the upcoming school year. One tweet stated: “Curso lectivo 2026 tendrá menos semanas de clases: esto es lo que cambiará y por qué https://t.co/7tUH9Jvpmi” (posted November 15, 2025).
A further update from La Nación detailed an announcement from the Ministry of Public Education (MEP): “El MEP anuncia el calendario 2026 con solo 39 semanas lectivas. ¿Qué harán los docentes en esas dos semanas donde no darán clases? https://t.co/RlsxnT9pdZ” (posted November 15, 2025).
The adjustments to the academic calendar represent a reduction in teaching weeks for Costa Rican schools. This change raises questions regarding how educators will utilize their time during periods when classes are not in session. These modifications are part of ongoing efforts by educational authorities to address logistical and instructional challenges faced by public education in Costa Rica.
