School holiday on September 1st: Will the opening bell be delayed for Kazakhstan's schoolchildren?
In Kazakhstan, schools are set to resume on September 2, marking the beginning of a new academic year. However, the question of whether the ceremonial event on September 1, traditionally a significant day for first-graders, will be mandatory for all schools remains uncertain.
The minister has hinted at a possible symbolic celebration on September 1 for first-graders, but no official confirmation has been given regarding a potential shift of the school linings from September 1 to September 2 this year. This uncertainty arises due to the shift of Constitution Day from August 30 to September 1, as it falls on a Saturday this year.
Last year, the start of the new school year also coincided with a holiday, but the school linings were not moved. The minister has stated that he consults with parents and teaching staff regarding the symbolic celebration on September 1 for first-graders, but no new information has been provided about changes to the school linings for students other than first-graders.
Approximately 65,000 Kazakhstani preschoolers who did not attend kindergarten will be prepared for the first grade in August. The minister has mentioned that the holiday for Kazakhstan's Constitution Day holds a sacred meaning for first-grade students, marking their first day of school.
However, the minister has not disclosed any details about what the official events on September 2 will entail. Nor has he discussed any potential impact of the holiday on the school calendar beyond September 1 and 2.
In light of the absence of relevant details in the available sources, it is unclear whether the start date for first-graders will be adjusted because of Constitution Day in 2025. The minister did not specify whether the ceremonial event on September 1 will be mandatory for all schools, and no new information was given about the potential impact of the holiday on the school calendar beyond September 1 and 2.
As the new academic year approaches, parents, students, and educators await official confirmation regarding the school linings schedule for first-graders in Kazakhstan. The minister's consultations with parents and teaching staff offer a glimmer of hope for a resolution, but until an official statement is made, the status remains uncertain.
The minister's consultations with parents and teaching staff regarding a potential symbolic celebration on September 1 for first-graders surround the topic of education-and-self-development. The absence of official confirmation about changes to the school linings for students other than first-graders is a subject of general-news discussions.
