Government Announces Spring Break For UAE Schools
The Emirates Establishment of Schools (ESE) in the United Arab Emirates has approved the school calendar whereby public school students will enjoy three public holidays including a 21-day spring break, a 4-day break each for Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid- ul-Adha, during the second and third semesters of this academic year.
Spring break, which marks the end of the second semester, will take place from March 27 to April 16, 2023. However, for teachers, spring break will take place from April 1st to 16th.
It should be emphasized that Spring Break applies only to schools that follow the UAE Ministry of Education (MoE) curriculum. Other schools following a program abroad will announce their own spring break.
In addition, the Department of Education’s annual school calendar indicates that the length of vacation for all schools should not exceed 8.2 weeks throughout the school year, regardless of the curriculum followed.
According to the Ministry of Education, the minimum number of school days per year in the UAE is at least 182 days. The academic year in the United Arab Emirates runs from late August to late June.
