Starting tomorrow, August 18, the administrative and educational staff in both public and private schools following the ministerial curriculum will officially resume their duties. This return comes approximately a week ahead of the students’ first day back on August 25, marking the beginning of the 2025/2026 academic year.
According to the academic calendar for the 2025/2026 year, there will be a total of 178 school days, divided into 14 weeks for the first term, 9 weeks for the second term, and 13 weeks for the third term.
The specialized training for administrative and educational staff will commence tomorrow and will run until August 22. A second round of specialized training for staff is scheduled for October 13-15, while a third session will be held from December 8-12, 2025.
The Ministry of Education announced in July a new structure for the school calendar that will be implemented in both public and private schools across the country starting from the 2025/2026 academic year. This includes significant adjustments to the scheduling of breaks at the end of terms to ensure uniformity between public and private institutions.
