Pupils in elementary and secondary schools return to classes on Monday in the second semester of the 2023/2024 school year as the winter break ends. In addition to the winter break, for the first time, pupils will have a week-long spring break from April 29 to May 6, 2024.
Also, at the request of the Union of High School Students, the Ministry of Education and Science has decided that school year 2023/2024 in secondary schools ends on June 10, instead of June 17 as defined in the instruction calendar. June 17 remains as the end date for elementary school pupils.
The Ministry of Education and Science is yet to decide on the compensation of the two non-working Wednesdays due to the presidential and parliamentary elections (April 24 and May 8).
