The Deputy Minister noted that the parent community expressed dissatisfaction regarding the shortened spring break in the third quarter.
“The situation was caused by the entry into force of the new Labor Code starting January 2026 and the addition of extra days off in the first decade of May, which effectively created a new vacation period for students. However, considering the numerous appeals from parents and discussions with experts, we decided to extend the spring break from March 2 to March 8,” Dzhusupbekova added.
She also emphasized that the Ministry of Education, together with the Kyrgyz Academy of Education, will analyze the proposals from parents, educators, and experts when creating the holiday calendar for the 2026-2027 academic year.
“We will strive for a more rational distribution of academic workload and rest periods,” the Deputy Minister concluded.
