School holidays are a time of long-awaited rest for any student. Both first-graders and future graduates count the days before the start of the holidays literally from the first days of the school year.

After all, the holidays of 2017-2018 are not just days free from study, but also time filled with games, communication with peers, and family vacation trips.

The exact dates of the holidays are also important for parents, because many of them try to keep their child busy at this time, send them on an interesting trip or take a vacation at work.

During the 2017-2018 academic year, there will be fewer vacations at institutes, universities and other higher educational institutions, as students rest only in winter and summer. Each university appoints the exact vacation schedule for students depending on the dates of the sessions.

Winter holidays for students begin at the end of January and end in mid-February. In the summer, student vacation dates also depend on the session and practice, which is often scheduled for June, which means that you can go on vacation only in July.

Also, the practice can be postponed to August, and the holidays will begin as early as mid-June. It all depends on the particular university, therefore, in order to carefully plan your vacation, you need to clarify the data in the administration of the university. The only thing that can be said for sure is that the holidays should not be less than 6 weeks.

Traditionally, both for schoolchildren and employees of educational institutions, winter holidays start on December 24th. There may also be additional holidays for first grade students starting on February 18th.

It is worth noting that during the holidays, teachers must be present at work for a certain number of hours, while the vacation schedule itself is quite flexible. The fact is that the Ministry of Education only issues recommendations on the dates of the beginning and end of school holidays, while the final word will remain with the pedagogical council of the school.

Teachers are the most disadvantaged, because for them the winter holidays in Ukraine 2018 will last only a week, while for schoolchildren - as much as 16 days (from December 24 to January 8). As for university students and teachers, everything here is purely individual: in some institutions, holidays are no different from school holidays, but at the same time there are universities in which the duration of the winter holidays is almost two months.

This step is taken by management in order to save money during the heating season. Students, as a rule, work out pairs in advance on Saturdays during the academic semester, so that they can then spend two whole months at home.

By the way, the idea of ​​introducing such a practice at school, when the 2017-2018 winter holidays begin for schoolchildren in Ukraine, has already been voiced more than once, which would help to significantly save on heating. Opponents of this initiative believe that schoolchildren will overwork too much, and, for example, no one will want to walk in the summer because of the abnormal heat.

There are quite a few reasons why the winter holidays in schools can be extended:

Too much low temperature(if the thermometer shows below 25 degrees of frost, then you can no longer go to school);
Cold in classrooms due to poor heating. Quite often there are situations when the school administration violates sanitary standards and forces teachers to work at temperatures below 18 degrees, but this is strictly prohibited;

​In a situation where more than a quarter of schoolchildren do not attend school due to a viral disease (ARVI). In this case, a quarantine is announced and the school closes indefinitely to prevent further spread of the disease.

In most cases, one week of quarantine will be enough, but, for example, during the swine flu epidemic in 2009, the quarantine lasted several months.

The vacation schedule varies slightly from year to year, “sliding” along the calendar. And this causes inconvenience for parents who prefer to plan their lives ahead of time - after all, in order to think over a travel route or other options for a family vacation, you need to know in advance the schedule of school holidays in the 2017-2018 academic year. When will the children be free from school?

According to a long tradition, the autumn holidays in schools are held in the first week of November. In Soviet times, they were "combined" with the celebration of the anniversary of the October Revolution, but now they fall on National Unity Day, celebrated on November 4th. In 2017, the holiday will be a Saturday, and due to the postponement of the holiday to Monday, November 6, adults will have a three-day mini-vacation. For schoolchildren, these days, of course, will also be "time off" - an additional day of rest will be "added" to the usual weekly duration of the November holidays.

September 1, 2017 - thousands of Russian schools will open their doors to more than one and a half million first-graders, as well as to millions of older students, including those for whom this will be the last September 1st at school, then a completely different one awaits them, already a more responsible life, where they will be more responsible for making decisions on their own, and waiting for them - universities, colleges, military service, work, family, and so on, that's what awaits them at the next stage of their life.

What date to school 2017 - September 1

As first-graders, tat and all other students of Russian schools are already interested in knowing when the days of rest will be, from what date and to what date, when they begin and end, what date they will go to school after a fun, but short rest, which is called school break.

Spend time on school holidays not only walking and having fun, but also for the benefit of yourself, so that your performance does not decrease after days of rest, but on the contrary, after the holidays you have added knowledge, because this is necessary, first of all, for yourself and no one else.

Usually, school autumn, winter or spring holidays coincide with those dates and terms that are generally accepted, and this will certainly be the case in the 2017 academic year, in all Russian schools, with rare exceptions.

At the same time, almost all school institutions and other educational institutions of our vast country try not to deviate from the recommendations for holding school holidays, which are established and approved officially, on a par with the Russian Ministry of Education.

As you already understood, in some Russian schools, the period of school holidays may be shifted in terms, their beginning and end may differ from the one established by the Russian Ministry of Education and Science, which does not affect the training course, which is the same for everyone.

This is most often associated with the type of training that is conducted in a single school. In some educational institutions, students study in quarters, but there are a number of those where training takes place in trimesters.

School holidays for the quarters of 2017

Those students of Russian schools who study in quarters, every academic year, have a vacation on vacation at approximately the same time (with the exception of force majeure circumstances), namely:

The autumn holidays for schoolchildren last nine days (including two Saturdays and two Sundays), they begin on the last Saturday of October, and end a week later on the first Sunday in November.

Winter holidays for Russian schoolchildren last differently (usually two weeks), they usually begin on the last Saturday of December and last until January 9-12, depending on the fall of the holidays on the weekend, the New Year holidays also last differently.

Holidays in the spring (spring) continue like the autumn nine days and also with two Saturdays and two Sundays in March and April. Spring break begins on the last Saturday of March and ends a week later, on the first Sunday in April.

Summer holidays for also last differently in Russian schools, primarily depending on the classes - but officially the summer holidays begin on June 1 and continue until the last day of summer on August 31. High school students, of course, are limited in summer vacations, due to the need to pass school exams.

Additional school holidays for first grade students are also provided, they take place in the last month of winter. First graders have an extra week off from the third Saturday in February to the fourth Sunday of the same month. Due to their young age and our climatic conditions, they need more time to rest.

School holidays by trimesters 2017

Unlike training in quarters, the trimester type is a little simpler and more transparent. Schoolchildren with this type of education attend classes for five weeks, after which they have a week of rest in the form of school holidays. The exception is the winter holidays New Year, which are standard for both types of training.

Period (dates) of the autumn holidays of 2017

We all studied and remember how difficult it is to get involved in school studies after a long summer vacation, we were looking forward to at least a short period of rest, which came at the end of the autumn month of October.

The school autumn holidays of the upcoming academic season of 2017, one might say the most expected, will come in the deciduous period of autumn, at the very end of October. For nine days (together with days off), a national holiday falls - Unity Day (November 4), so the rest time will lengthen and schoolchildren will go to study after the rest not on Monday, but on Tuesday November 7.

Number of vacations in autumn 2017 - 10 days

(including weekends and public holidays)

For those Russian schoolchildren who are trained not in quarters, but in a trimester type of education, one can say they are lucky, they will have vacations in the fall twice at once:

Approximately school holidays this fall of the coming 2017 for those Russian students who study in trimesters will take place for seven days (9 days with days off) - from October 9 to 15 and from November 20 to 26.

Period (dates) of winter holidays 2017

It is no secret that all Russian schoolchildren with a special mood and look forward to the arrival of the New Year and the onset of winter holidays, which are quite long on days of rest and are most loved by many of them.

After all, this is a fertile winter time, not only when Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden should come to visit with their congratulations and New Year's gifts, but also the opportunity to play snowballs, go sledding, skiing or skating, as well as take a break from lessons and the need to complete school hometasks.

Winter holidays in the coldest time of 2017 divide school education in half, into two parts. During this fertile period for all schoolchildren, they, together with adults, their parents or older brothers and sisters, spend rest days at home or go to visit their relatives grandparents, and for someone, dads and moms will arrange a surprise in the form of a small New Year's Eve. travel, for example, on an excursion to some country or a Russian city with ancient sights.

The duration of the winter holidays is the same in all Russian schools, for students in quarters and trisemesters, but it lasts differently, about two weeks, it all depends on whether the holidays fall on the weekend, which can shift the winter holidays.

The school New Year holidays of the upcoming school season of 2017 can be said to be the most beloved and long-awaited, and they will begin at the end of the first month of winter in December. In total, schoolchildren will rest for quite a few days in a row, if we count their beginning on December 23, 2017 and ending on January 9, 2018 (together with days off and taking into account the transfer).

The number of holidays in winter for the new year 2017 - 18 days

All Russian schools will start teaching on Tuesday 10 January 2018. By the way, our entire vast country goes to work on this January day (officially).

Additional holidays for first graders (first graders) in 2017

The first class will rest next winter for one more week, in the last month of winter, from the 17th (Saturday) to the 25th (Sunday) of February 2018.

Period(s) of spring break 2017

Next spring will complete the 2017 academic year and, as always, this is not the best time to gain knowledge, when everything is blooming and smelling, the sun is getting brighter, and it's getting warmer outside. In the spring, schoolchildren especially do not want to study, cram school science and attend classes.

In the spring, warm weather gradually sets in, there is only a mood to walk and chat, but there’s nothing to study, and after all, there are tests, tests, tests and exams ahead. Therefore, spring break is just in time, because it is a great opportunity to take a break from school lessons and assignments, gather your thoughts and gain strength before the "decisive battles", prepare for a responsible period, test and verification work, etc.

The spring break of the 2017 academic year will run from March 24 (Saturday) until April 1 (Sunday) 18. Educational school Russian institutions will start teaching schoolchildren on this day of Laughter, which is not a laughing matter for schoolchildren.

The number of holidays in the spring of 2017-2018 - 9 days

(including weekends and holidays and taking into account transfers)

For those Russian schoolchildren who study in the trimester type of education, school holidays in the spring of 2017-2018 will take place from Saturday March 30 to Sunday April 8 inclusive (total 9 days).

Period (dates) of summer holidays 2017-2018

The period of school holidays for students of primary and secondary classes in the summer period of the year, lasting as much as 3 months, will begin the summer academic year 2017-2018 - from June 1 to the last day of summer on August 31.

As for school graduates after the academic year 2017-2018, they have a completely different schedule, they have an order of magnitude fewer days of rest - the first month of summer, this is the time for exams, preparation for practice, and those who graduated from school will be preparing to enter university or college.

Schoolchildren of primary and secondary grades, as well as those who will be graduating in the next academic year - do not forget that summer school holidays are a wonderful period in your life. when you can relax, gain strength and so on.

But remember that September 1 will come anyway, it will certainly come and test your knowledge that you either lost over the summer or acquired something. Do not forget that summer holidays are needed not only for relaxation and fun, but also so that you can improve those subjects that had problems in the school year that ended.

In conclusion, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the duration of school holidays in different European countries. Let's say right away that Russia, along with Ukraine and Turkey, are leaders in the total duration of rest days - they have 18 weeks of vacation. As for the European "outsiders", those countries that have the shortest holidays, here the "leaders" are Denmark - 11 weeks, as well as the Czech Republic, Macedonia and Northern Ireland - 12 weeks of school holidays per academic year.

The most anticipated period in 2017 for all schoolchildren is the summer holidays. However, not only children, but also adults are waiting for them: we all dream of escaping somewhere in the warm month, relaxing, changing the situation. For the younger generation, changes of such a plan are also very welcome. Modern workloads at school do not allow you to feel the lightness and freedom inherent in childhood during the year. That is why the guys are looking forward to the summer season so much, so that they can walk, swim and sleep off for the rest of the nine months of study.

Holidays in the summer of 2017 - schedule

When will the summer holidays for schoolchildren come in 2017 in Russia? In this article, you will learn about the timing and schedule of vacations in the territory of the Russian Federation during the specified period.

It should be noted that summer holidays start from the last Friday of May - from the last bell at school. In 2017, the last training Friday falls on May 26th. Therefore, the summer holidays will begin the next day. Thus, the timing of the summer holidays in the Russian Federation - from May 27 to September 1, 2017 .

Who sets the dates for the summer holidays in 2017

Each educational institution in Russia reserves the right to change the timing of the start and end of the academic year, depending on its own characteristics. Traditionally, the academic year begins on September 1st, and most educational institutions not only in our country, but also in many other countries adhere to this date. It is noteworthy that September 1, 2017 falls on the last working day of the week - Friday. Few schools, lyceums and gymnasiums will decide to start classes on this particular date. Therefore, the summer holidays will most likely be extended by as much as three days, and classes will begin no earlier than September 4 - on Monday.

Recreation of schoolchildren during the summer holidays 2017

According to the rules established by Russian law, during the summer period, schoolchildren must rest for at least 90 calendar days.

Why was such a long period of time chosen specifically for the summer period, and not, say, winter, when it is especially cold, or spring, in which most diseases are exacerbated? The answer lies in antiquity, when decisions were only made about the construction of training time. In the days of church schools, initially the children studied all year round. But later it was noticed that in the summer, children attend school less often, because they spend a lot of time helping adults (previously, every person who could help in arranging life or working in the field was worth its weight in gold). Therefore, in order for children to be less distracted from the school process, at the time of the special activity of sowing work, as well as during the care of the crop and its collection, children were allowed not to attend school. Later, this period was called summer holidays and introduced to the level of the state norm, with which we are all familiar from childhood.

The Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, within the framework of the reform of school education, proposes to make changes to the educational process. The reforms will affect curricula and the development of children. In addition, changes can be expected in the structure of the academic year, which many consultants and advisers recommend to divide into trimesters. Until this year, all public and most private schools divided the academic year into semesters.

Qualified specialists are sure that this reform of the school curriculum is very important for the correct distribution of study time. It will make it possible to make the periods of study between small weekly holidays almost the same. Such an organization educational process school-age children will allow teachers and the administration of educational institutions to more harmoniously distribute the academic load on the student.

Class	Amount of time for additional work when studying subjects in full-time school mode
1	-
2	45 min
3	1 hour 10 min
4	1 hour 30 minutes
5	2.5 hours
6	2.5 hours
7	3 hours
8	3 hours
9	3 hours
10	4 hours
11	4 hours

However, the reform of the school year structure is likely to take effect no earlier than 2018. According to the letter of the Ministry of Education and Science of June 7, 2017 No. 1 / 9-315 “On the structure of the 2017-2018 academic year”, classes in general educational institutions, regardless of subordination, types and forms of ownership, should begin on Knowledge Day - September 1 and end no later than September 1 July 2018.

The academic year 2017-2018 will be divided into 2 semesters:

• I semester - September 1 - December 22, 2017,
• II semester - January 10 - May 31, 2018.

When are school holidays 2017-2018?

• Autumn holidays: October 30 - November 5, 2017,
• Winter holidays: December 25, 2017 - January 9, 2018,
• Spring break: March 26 - April 1, 2018,
• Summer holidays: from the end of the school year until August 31, 2018.
