Hanoi students will have the least Lunar New Year holiday in 2025 nationwide

The above content is in the document sent to units and schools about the holiday schedule of the Hanoi Department of Education and Training.

Specifically, the 2025 Lunar New Year holiday for Hanoi students will last from January 25 to February 2, 2025 (ie December 26 to January 5). With 9 days off, Hanoi is among the provinces and cities with the least Tet holiday in the country.

During the Tet holiday, the Hanoi Department of Education and Training requires schools to strengthen education for students to practice civilized lifestyles, maintain social order and safety, traffic safety, strictly implement regulations on the use of fireworks, improve skills to prevent accidents, injuries and social evils.

Units, depending on actual conditions, pay attention to the material and spiritual life of cadres, teachers, employees and students; carefully organize visits and assistance to cadres and teachers in difficult circumstances and those under preferential policies so that everyone can have the conditions to celebrate Tet.

According to regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training , provinces and cities are allowed to proactively plan the school year, but must ensure 35 weeks (semester I has 18 weeks, semester II has 17 weeks), in which semester I ends before January 18, semester II before May 31.

At least 20 provinces and cities have announced the 2025 Lunar New Year holiday schedule for students. The number of days off ranges from 9-17 days depending on the locality.

Previously, Ho Chi Minh City also decided to give students 9 days off for Tet, but faced opposition from many parents. After that, Ho Chi Minh City had to add 2 more days off, from January 23 to February 2, 2025.

Kon Tum is currently the locality with the longest school break, starting from January 24 to February 7, 2025. Because February 7 is Friday, students in this province will have two more weekend days off. Thus, Kon Tum students will have a 17-day Lunar New Year holiday in 2025.
