Previously, the Ministry of Education and Training approved the timetable for the 2023-2024 school year. Accordingly, the new school year opening day for preschool and general education will take place simultaneously on September 5.

However, localities can let students return to school a week earlier, at the end of August 2023. For first graders in particular, the first day of school can be two weeks earlier than the start of the new school year so that students can get acquainted with the school.

However, localities can let students return to school a week earlier, meaning around the last week of August 2023.

First graders need two weeks before the new school year starts to get acquainted with the school and class. During this time, schools instruct students on study and living habits, prepare them mentally before the new school year, and do not organize knowledge teaching for students.
