Official Winter Vacation Period
The declared winter vacation officially commences on Wednesday, December 25 . This period continues for twelve consecutive days. Schools are scheduled to resume regular classes on Monday, January 6, 2025 . This timeframe aligns with typical winter breaks observed across educational institutions.
Pre-Vacation Closures for Educational Conference
Before the winter vacation, schools will also close for two days due to an educational conference. These specific closure dates are Thursday, December 19 , and Friday, December 20 .
