According to the Ministry of Education and Training, localities should base their own plans on the above school year framework, tailored to the characteristics of each region, ensuring that the local school year schedule guarantees 35 weeks of actual learning (18 weeks in the first semester and 17 weeks in the second semester).
Public holidays are observed in accordance with the Labor Code and annual guiding documents.

Therefore, civil servants and employees of administrative agencies, public service organizations, political organizations, and socio-political organizations will have a maximum of four days off as described above.
Agencies and units that do not follow a fixed Saturday and Sunday weekly holiday schedule will base their holiday arrangements on their specific programs and plans.
