The winter holidays for school students will take place from December 31st to January 10th.
The Russian Ministry of Education recommended that educational institutions hold winter vacations from December 31, 2026 to January 10, 2027. This was reported in the department's press service.
At the same time, the schools can set their own vacation dates. When drawing up the schedule, the management has the right to take into account regional and ethno-cultural traditions, as well as scheduled events.
The head of the Ministry of Education, Sergey Krabtsov, noted that the Rosh Hashanah holidays are a time for family relaxation and useful leisure, which allows school students to recover before continuing their studies.
