The 2023/2024 school year will begin on September 1 and will last until June 17, said the Minister of Education and Science, Jeton Shaqiri at today's press conference.
According to the decision made at a government session, all primary and secondary school students will have a spring break for the first time, which will last from April 29 to May 5, a practice which the minister says is applied in several European countries and which, according to teachers and professional services, will bring better results.
Regarding textbooks, most of the textbooks for primary education that have been approved, as well as the new textbooks for the third grade, have already been delivered to schools. The remaining part, mostly the new textbooks for the sixth grade will be delivered immediately after they are approved by the Textbook Commission, and in the meantime, students will be served with auxiliary materials, which are available on the website of the Bureau of Education and Development.
