Tet holiday schedule for students nationwide.

Most localities gave students a 10-14 day Tet holiday in the Year of the Dragon, with Ha Giang having the longest break at 16 days, and Bac Giang the shortest at 7 days.

By February 1st, most provinces and cities had announced the Lunar New Year holiday schedule for preschool children and primary and secondary school students in 2024. Ha Giang province had the longest holiday with 16 days, starting from February 3rd to 18th (24th day of the 12th lunar month to the 9th day of the 1st lunar month).

Previously, according to the school year timetable announced in August, Lao Cai also gave students 16 days off like Ha Giang. However, in the decision dated January 18th by the Department of Education and Training, students will be on holiday from February 5th to February 18th, a total of 14 days.

Bac Giang province gave students the shortest Tet holiday break, with 7 days, from February 8th to 14th, similar to the Tet holiday schedule for workers. Hanoi, Ha Nam, and Hai Phong gave students one more day off, starting from February 7th.

These localities explain that the Tet holiday schedule for students is based on the general Tet holiday framework approved by the Prime Minister. This schedule will not disrupt families and will avoid unsafe situations where children are on school holiday but parents still have to go to work.

Some localities do not have fixed holiday periods. Bac Kan province allows each school to decide on a suitable Tet holiday period based on its actual conditions, as long as students do not return to school later than February 14th.

In the remaining provinces and cities, most students will have about two weeks off. The latest date for returning to school is February 19th.
