How many weeks are there in the first semester of the 2024-2025 school year in Vietnam?
Based on Article 2 of Decision 2045/QD-BGDDT in 2024:
Principles for Developing the Academic Year Plan of Localities
1. The academic year plan of localities must ensure 35 weeks of actual study (the first semester has 18 weeks, and the second semester has 17 weeks).
2. The academic year plan must be suitable to the characteristics and practical conditions of the locality.
3. Public holidays and New Year holidays are carried out according to the provisions of the Labor Code and annual guiding documents.
4. Teachers' annual leave is taken during the summer vacation or may be interspersed at other times of the year to suit specific characteristics and the academic year plan of the locality.
5. The academic year plan must ensure uniformity for all educational levels in one locality, especially in composite schools with multiple educational levels.
Thus, for the school year 2024-2025, the Ministry of Education and Training has stipulated that the first semester has 18 weeks and the second semester has 17 weeks.
The duration of study for the two semesters differs, and the total number of actual study weeks in the academic year 2024-2025 ensures 35 weeks.
