Kravtsov called how much should last the school holidays in Russia

Autumn, winter and spring holidays in Russian schools should last at least nine days, Minister of Education Sergey Kravtsov said in an interview with TASS.

"Autumn, winter and spring holidays should last at least nine days so that the guys have time to fully relax," he said.

In the 2026/27 academic year, the Ministry of Education recommended that autumn holidays be held from October 26 to November 3, winter holidays from December 31 to January 10, spring holidays from March 27 to April 4. Each school approves its own schedule, guided by the recommendations of the department.

In autumn, with the recommended schedule, the holidays themselves will last nine days, but together with the previous weekend and National Unity Day, schoolchildren will be able to rest for 12 days. The winter break will be 11 days.
