The new school year in Romania will have a duration of 36 weeks and will be divided into five modules, separated by five vacations, according to the Ministry of Education. According to the draft schedule, the 2025-2026 school year will begin on Monday, September 8, 2025, and will end on Friday, June 19, 2026.
The start of the school year, however, is clouded by uncertainty and protests caused by a governmental program to cut costs in the state apparatus. Also, in the past months, the Ministry of Education issued plans to increase the time spent teaching for each teacher, merge schools with few children, and slash scholarships.
