Students in Bucharest and several counties return to classes

Students in Bucharest are preparing to return to classes after a week of intersemester vacation. This vacation has been established according to a flexible calendar, with each County School Inspectorate having the freedom to choose the appropriate period for students in the respective county.

• Reducing crowds during the tourist season

The Ministry of Education has decided that the intersemester vacation will be scheduled between February 10 and March 2, 2025, with each county to establish its own break period.
