Every year, children in schools in Ukraine get the opportunity to rest during the winter vacation, which is a traditional time to restore strength and prepare for the next academic tests.
In the conditions of modern challenges, the format and dates of rest increasingly depend on regional characteristics and local decisions.
In 2025, the official start of the winter break is scheduled for the end of December, but the exact dates may vary in different regions.
The Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine advises pedagogical councils and school administrations to independently determine the time of rest, taking into account the circumstances of each region and safety conditions.
Decisions regarding vacation dates are made by educational institutions based on the recommendations of local education departments. It is important that the total duration of the holiday should not be less than 30 calendar days, but schools can flexibly adjust the dates depending on the situation.
Due to problems with the electricity supply, the Ministry advises to extend the winter vacation, compensating for this by shortening the spring break and organizing the educational process in six days a week after the winter vacation.
As a reminder, schoolchildren will be able to report bullying through the “Mriya” application.
The government is also launching free lunches for students in grades 1-11 from 2026.
