According to information from the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City, the 2025 Lunar New Year holiday schedule for students in the city is specified in the 2024-2025 school year schedule issued by the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee.

According to the school year plan of Ho Chi Minh City, the 2025 Lunar New Year holiday for preschool, primary, secondary and high school students is expected to start from January 25, 2025 to February 2, 2025 (ie December 26 to January 5).

With the above schedule, students in Ho Chi Minh City will have a total of 9 days off for Lunar New Year.

For many years, students in Ho Chi Minh City have had a long Tet holiday of 14-16 days, including the two weekends before and after Tet. Thus, 2025 is the year that students in Ho Chi Minh City will have the shortest Tet holiday in many years.

The 2025 Lunar New Year holiday schedule for students in Ho Chi Minh City is overlapping with the proposal for a 9-day Tet holiday submitted by the Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs to the Prime Minister.

This plan proposes that the Tet holiday lasts from December 26 of the year of Giap Thin to January 5 of the year of At Ty (ie January 25 - February 2, 2025).

If this plan is approved by the Prime Minister, during the 2025 Lunar New Year, officials, civil servants, and public employees will have 9 consecutive days off.

Specifically, the official Tet holiday schedule is from Monday, January 27, 2025, which is December 28, the year of the Dragon, through December 29 and the 3 days of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd of Tet, which is the end of Friday, January 31, 2025.

However, immediately before the 5 official holidays are 2 weekend days, Saturday and Sunday, January 25-26, 2025, i.e. December 26 and 27 of the lunar calendar. After the official holidays come the next 2 weekend days, Saturday and Sunday, February 1-2, 2025.

So in fact, the upcoming Lunar New Year holiday will start from Saturday, January 25, 2025 to Sunday, February 2, 2025 (ie the end of January 5, At Ty year).
