Is it correct that lecturers have a 3-month summer break?

According to Clause 1, Article 3 of Decree 84/2020/ND-CP, the provisions regarding the summer vacation period for teachers are as follows:

- The annual summer vacation period for teachers at preschool education institutions, general education institutions, and specialized schools is 08 weeks, including annual leave;

- The annual summer vacation period for teachers at intermediate schools and lecturers at colleges is 06 weeks, including annual leave;

- The annual summer vacation period for lecturers at higher education institutions is implemented according to the organizational and operational regulations of the higher education institution;

- In case of sudden emergencies to prevent natural disasters, epidemics, or other urgent circumstances, the summer vacation period for teachers at preschool education institutions, general education institutions, specialized schools, intermediate schools, and colleges is determined by the Minister of Education and Training, the Minister of Labor - Invalids and Social Affairs in accordance with their authority.

Based on the above regulation, the annual summer vacation period for lecturers at universities will be implemented according to the organizational and operational regulations of the university. Therefore, to know the specific vacation period of lecturers at your university, you can discuss it with the university lecturers for clarification (excluding sudden emergencies and urgent circumstances).

Sincerely!
