coming week

Hello, teachers!

If you say "the page shows activities of the coming week" (referring to business days), does this mean "next 5 business days" or "next week".

For example, if you see this page today (Tuesday 7th) do you expect to see activities from today to next Monday 7th-13th), or next week (13th-17th)

Thank you in advance.
