U ponedjeljak, 3. srpnja 2026. godine, Engleska se susrela s Meksikom u ključnoj utakmici Svjetskog prvenstva zakazanih za 1 ujutro britanskog ljetnog vremena.
Meč između Engleske i Meksika uslijedio je nakon male pobjede Engleske nad Demokratskom Republikom Kongo, koja je u početku prijetila da će ih eliminirati iz turnira.
Unatoč Tuchelovom ohrabrenju, ministrica obrazovanja Bridget Phillipson tvrdila je da bi učenici i dalje trebali pohađati školu u ponedjeljak. U intervjuu za BBC Newsnight, naglasila je da roditelji ne bi trebali koristiti utakmicu kao izgovor za odgađanje vremena za spavanje za svoju djecu.
Međutim, nekoliko škola širom Velike Britanije odlučilo je prilagoditi svoje rasporede kao odgovor na Tuchelov zahtjev. Neke su se institucije odlučile dopustiti učenicima da dođu kasnije od uobičajenog, prepoznajući značaj događaja za mlade navijače. Na primjer, osnovna škola Purwell u Hitchinu, Hertfordshire, držala je svoje registre otvorene do 10:30 ujutro, dajući obiteljima kasniji početak. Slično tome, osnovna škola Castle Hill u Basingstoke prilagodila je svoje vrijeme početka na 9:30 ujutro umjesto uobičajenog 8:35 ujutro, omogućujući obiteljima da uživaju u utakmici i još uvijek osiguraju dovoljan odmor za svoju djecu.
U međuvremenu, Whipton Barton Federacija u Exeteru potaknula je učenike da nose nogometne kompletove u školu i obećala lutriju za nogometne lopte Svjetskog prvenstva. Škole unutar istog multi-akademskog povjerenja u okrugu Durham - Greenland, Bloemfontein i Burnhope - omogućile su učenicima da dođu u bilo koje vrijeme prije 10 sati bez da budu tako kasni.
Debata o uravnoteženju obrazovnih odgovornosti s nacionalnim sportskim događajima dugo je postojala, ali je jedinstveno rasporediranje ovog određenog meča donijelo nove složenosti. Dok su neki dužnosnici, kao što je ministrica vještina baronesa Jacqui Smith, upozoravali na žrtvovanje mogućnosti učenja, drugi, poput Daniel Kebede iz Nacionalne obrazovne unije, zagovarali su fleksibilniji pristup.
Kako se utakmica približavala, fokus je ostao na osiguravanju da djeca mogu sudjelovati u događaju bez ugrožavanja njihovog školovanja. Škole širom zemlje nastavile su istraživati načine prilagođavanja situaciji, odražavajući mješavinu službenih smjernica i lokalne diskrecije.
