The next school year already has its start dates and vacation periods set on September 24th and 25th, with classes starting in many schools across the country between September 12th and 16th. Let’s find out all the dates!
For those who have children or minors in their care, knowing these timetables will help you plan better for the coming year, especially the periods of vacation family members.
Classes are about to start
This is also the time of year when you have to order the books and make the shopping list for the next three school terms.
This is also the first time that the government has published a timetable for the next four years in the Official Gazette , with the aim of giving families and educational institutions a greater degree of predictability.
In this sense, this order will be in force between the 2024/25 and 2027/28 school years, in pre-school, primary and secondary education, in public, private and special education establishments.
2024/25 school year:
- 1st period: from September 12-16 to December 17
- 2nd period: from January 6th to April 4th
- 3rd term: from April 22 to June 6 (for 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th graders); until June 13 (for 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th and 10th graders); until June 27 (for kindergarten and 1st cycle of basic education)
Vacations and breaks in 2024/25:
- Christmas: from December 18th to January 3rd
- Carnival: from March 3rd to 5th
- Easter: from April 7th to 21st
As in previous years, each school or educational institution will be free to opt for other break periods, so you should always check these dates with the school your child attends.
As far as national tests and exams are concerned, the timetable for the monitoring tests, 9th grade tests and secondary school national exams has not yet been released.
