Schools Announce Extended Winter Holiday

Schools in several regions have announced an extended winter holiday for students and staff. Education authorities explained that the decision was made to give students more time to rest and spend time with their families. In some areas, the extension is also meant to support student well-being and reduce stress after a busy academic term. School administrators said classes will resume later than originally planned, and teachers will adjust lesson schedules to ensure the curriculum is completed. Many students welcomed the longer break, while parents are making plans for family activities. Officials emphasized that learning will continue smoothly when schools reopen.
