Wuhu Implements Spring and Fall Break for Primary and Secondary Schools in 2026

Wuhu City has announced the implementation of spring and fall break system for compulsory education schools starting from the 2026 spring semester.

Under the new policy, both spring and fall breaks will be set at 3 days each, with time allocated from the flexible weeks of each semester. This ensures that the total teaching weeks and tasks required by national regulations are not reduced, while maintaining the existing winter and summer vacation schedules.

Specific arrangements: Spring break is for students in grades 1-8, combined with the Qingming holiday; Fall break is for students in grades 1-9, combined with November weekends to facilitate family travel planning. In 2026, Wuhu's spring break will be from April 1-3, forming a "3+3" 6-day holiday with the Qingming festival. Fall break arrangements will be announced before the fall semester begins.

The implementation of the spring and fall break system is an important livelihood initiative responding to societal needs in the new era. The policy aims to optimize teaching rhythms, reduce student academic pressure, encourage students to participate in research trips, physical exercise, cultural experiences, and other activities to improve comprehensive quality and core competencies.

Various departments in Wuhu will collaborate to ensure supporting measures for the break system. For families with childcare needs, relevant departments and schools will provide public childcare services and diverse holiday activities. The tourism sector will optimize services and encourage attractions to launch themed activities. Transportation and public security departments will enhance capacity and ensure travel safety.
