The situation with the winter holidays 2020/2021 is not entirely clear for schoolchildren, which confuses not only students, but also their parents. Due to the difficult situation with the coronavirus, it is difficult to predict from what date to what date the rest periods will be approved, and whether students will return to their studies at all according to the usual algorithm. Therefore, we will only consider the scenario that will be relevant if schools open and operate as usual.

Who is responsible for the leisure schedule of schoolchildren

This issue is decided by the Ministry of Education at the level of recommendations, and the final "verdict" is made by the school administration.

The most common outcome of events is that most students coincide with the time to go on vacation, because there are three systems for distributing lessons. These include: quarters, trimesters and modular training.

This allows you to spend your leisure time usefully. The 2020/2021 school holidays can be set according to the standard scenario followed before the pandemic. At the same time, the epidemic can make its own adjustments to this process. In view of the fact that modular training is not common, consider the rest of the options.

Impact of studying in quarters on the holidays 2020/2021

Most of the general education institutions study in quarters, since this tradition has been preserved since ancient times. The main pitfall is global time differences.

The second quarter in order is quite short, while the third, on the contrary, is too long, which complicates the correct distribution of the lesson plan. Let's figure out how the learning process and going on vacation will look like in the event of a favorable development of events from the point of view of a pandemic:

1. Autumn vacation. The whole country starts the learning process from September 1. According to the calendar, Knowledge Day falls on Tuesday, and October 25 is the end of the first quarter. Autumn holidays, respectively, start on 26.10.
2. From 02.11.2020 the second quarter begins.
3. Winter vacation. They will last 2 weeks, this is the largest vacation of the year. The shortest quarter ends on December 27th. The next day is considered a day off. Training starts on January 12th.
4. Spring Break. The penultimate quarter, on the contrary, is the longest, its end will come on March 21st. The duration of the spring break is from March 22 to March 28 inclusive.
5. Additional vacations. They are intended only for first graders, in 2021 they are provided from 15.02. until 21.02.
6. Summer holidays. May 24 will be the end of school, and the last call will be the next day. High school students, however, will have to study until May 28. In 2021, school administrations will have the difficult decision to make exact graduation dates for high school students. It is too early to talk about it at this time.

Thus, the winter holidays for schoolchildren studying in the quarter system will continue from December 28, 2020 until January 12, 2021. The school administration has the right to slightly adjust these terms at its discretion.

Trimesters and Holidays 2020/2021

A number of institutions practice teaching in terms of trimesters. The disadvantages of other models are completely eliminated here, and according to the system, each trimester is the same in time.

Training takes place according to the following scheme: five weeks of study are replaced by a week of vacations. Only the winter holidays coincide with the system of training in quarters. The schedule of winter holidays for schoolchildren 2020 is detailed below:

1. The beginning of the first trimester is September 1. The first week of the vacation lasts from October 3rd to 11th.
2. The end of the first trimester will be November 13th. The next autumn holidays will last from 14 to 22 November inclusive.
3. The second, no less fruitful academic term, will begin on November 23. Winter holidays will begin on December 26th. They will coincide with the holidays of schools, which have chosen for themselves the educational system in quarters.
4. January will be a continuation of the second trimester. The period from 11.01 to 12.02 in 2021 will become a school period for children, and the holidays will be dates from 13.02 to 21.02 inclusive.
5. 2021-22-02 will mark the beginning of the third trimester. Spring break begins on Saturday 27 March and ends on Sunday 4 April. The full academic year will end on May 28.

The difference between trimester training and quarter training is two additional weeks of rest for the entire year in total. Traditionally, the academic year 2021/2022 will begin on September 1, regardless of the training system.

This will become a period of gaining useful knowledge for students, the beginning of fruitful work after three months of rest. A competent solution to the problem with the schedule of study time will help students more successfully master the school curriculum.

All the above dates for the 2020/2021 winter holidays for schoolchildren are approximate. The final decision, from what to how many students will rest, remains with the school administration. In any case, teachers will notify their students about the accepted dates for resting.

Summarize

1. In Russia, along with the classical one for quarters, there are other educational systems.
2. In view of the difficult situation due to the coronavirus, it is still difficult to say whether schools will open as usual. Accordingly, it remains questionable whether the students will go out for the winter holidays, on what dates this will happen.
3. For students in the quarter system, the winter holidays will approximately last 2 weeks, from December 28 to January 12. All those who study in terms of trimesters will go on vacation on December 26.
