Bavaria starts the last federal state in the summer vacation 2023
The effects of the big holidays on the students and the education system
The big holidays are a welcome event for students across Germany, which is now also beginning in Bavaria. From this afternoon, school life in all federal states is interrupted for a short time and numerous families take this opportunity to travel or just relax. However, the return to school life does not take place for everyone at the same time, which shows how different the German education system is organized.
meaning of the different vacation times
In Germany there are traditionally a variety of holiday start dates that are determined by the federal states. This year there are a total of seven different periods where schools close. This can bring about both advantages and challenges. While some parents appreciate the flexibility in different times, other families may have difficulty finding suitable holiday offers, since they are often bound to the holiday season of the respective federal states.
A look at the school year 2024/25
The first day of school after the big holidays is particularly interesting. In Thuringia, the new school year 2024/25 will open on August 1, 2024, followed by Bavaria, where the lessons start again on September 10th. These different start times can also influence the teaching content and include an adaptation of the curricula, since teachers have to adapt their teaching units to the holidays.
in international comparison
In contrast to Germany, neighboring countries such as France have a uniform holiday date. This summer, all students had vacation there from July 6th to September 1st. This shows how differentiated the approaches in the different countries are. A uniform holiday appointment could simplify planning for families, but also influence educational offers or leisure activities during the holidays.conclusion: an interesting holiday structure
The big holidays in Germany are a time of relaxation and planning, which also reflects the diversity of the education system. While schools close for some time, the organization of the holidays plays an important role in the life of the students and their families. Whether for vacation or relaxation, the variety of holidays offers both advantages and challenges and stimulates the discussion about the best approaches in the education system.
