School schedule for the new academic year, including important dates for classes and vacations, officially announced
The upcoming academic year in secondary education institutions across Kazakhstan is set to begin on September 2, 2025, and conclude on May 25, 2026. However, specific information about the vacation periods for the 2025-2026 academic year has yet to be found in current search results.
Most search results relate to other regions or general educational topics, but not Kazakhstan's academic calendar or school holidays. Nevertheless, based on typical academic calendars in recent years, the vacation periods are expected to follow a familiar pattern.
The winter break is anticipated to fall around late December to early January, while the spring break is expected to occur in March or early April. The summer vacation is expected to span from late May or early June through August.
However, the exact dates for the 2025-2026 academic year have not been found in the current search results and are typically published by Kazakhstan's Ministry of Education or local education authorities closer to the school year start.
For precise dates of official holidays and vacations, it is best to consult the Kazakhstan Ministry of Education's official announcements or the school's administrative offices as the academic year approaches.
One piece of confirmed information is the duration of the winter holidays, which will last 10 calendar days from December 29, 2025, to January 7, 2026, inclusive. First-graders will also enjoy additional holidays lasting 7 calendar days from February 9 to 15, 2026, inclusive.
The academic year will consist of four quarters, with the first and third quarters each having 8 weeks of instruction. The second quarter is expected to have 8 weeks of instruction, while the fourth quarter will last 8 weeks, concluding on May 25, 2026.
The third quarter will consist of 10 weeks of instruction. The ceremonial line-up dedicated to Knowledge Day will be determined by the school's pedagogical council.
Spring holidays will last 11 calendar days from March 19 to 29, 2026, inclusive, while Autumn holidays will last 7 calendar days from October 27 to November 2, inclusive.
As the academic year approaches, more detailed information about the vacation periods and other aspects of the 2025-2026 academic year in secondary education institutions across Kazakhstan will be made available by the relevant authorities.
Education-and-self-development articles and general news might discuss the upcoming winter break, spring break, and summer vacation for secondary education institutions in Kazakhstan, but specific details about the 2025-2026 academic year have yet to be found in current search results. According to recent academic calendar patterns, the winter break is anticipated to fall around late December to early January, while the spring break is expected to occur in March or early April.
