Back to school after winter holidays 94. Posting an ad for free and without registration throughout Russia is not limited

Despite the fact that just a month ago, schoolchildren sat down at their desks and started studying, many of them are already looking forward to the fall holidays of 2018. The rest schedule for Russian schoolchildren, as you know, has already been approved, and you can familiarize yourself with it.

However, keep in mind: the provided schedule is considered recommended: each educational institution has the right to regulate the school vacation schedule itself, and although it is not recommended to deviate greatly from generally accepted norms, the vacation period may differ in different schools.

In addition to traditional quarters, schools can now study according to other systems - modules, trimesters, and even bimestres. The difference is that the holidays for each such school begin at different times and also last in different ways. And each approach has its supporters.

For example, adherents of modules and trimesters say that such a system allows solving the problem of a long third quarter, when children sag in school due to beriberi and accumulated fatigue. Traditional quarters are good because most museums and children's theaters adjust to this schedule, and it is much easier to organize a joint vacation with a child.

The total number of rest days is the same for all systems. This is 30 days during the school year (for first graders - 35 days) and three months in the summer.

Summer holidays for elementary school students will also start earlier - they usually start on May 23-25. But older children study longer, until June 1. The 9th and 11th grade graduates were the least lucky: because of the State Academic Examination and the Unified State Examination, they will study until the beginning of July.

According to what schedule children will study, the school decides. This decision is made at a meeting of the governing council, which includes not only teachers and administration, but also representatives of parents and the students themselves.

The Ministry of Education (formerly the Ministry of Education and Science) usually publishes recommended vacation schedules for different educational systems, which take public holidays into account. But the school can adjust this schedule to suit their needs - for example, holidays can start a couple of days earlier or later.

Therefore, it is better to look for the final schedule of holidays and holidays adopted by the school on its official website - it must be published no later than September.

Traditionally, schoolchildren who study in quarters rest for 7 days in autumn and spring, and two weeks in winter. In addition, taking into account the New Year and autumn holidays, the school administration may add two more additional days to the autumn or winter holidays.

An approximate vacation schedule is as follows:

  • Autumn holidays - from October 29 to November 4, 2018
  • Winter holidays - from December 26, 2018 to January 8, 2019
  • Spring break - from 25 to 31 March 2019.

There are additional holidays for first-graders - they will be held from February 25 to March 3. This is necessary in order to dose the load and not to overwhelm the baby with studies from head to toe. Such additional vacations will help those who are lagging behind catch up with the rest, and those who are already doing well with their studies will simply take a breath.

The vacation schedule for these systems is almost the same - but each school can make adjustments to it. Typically, a module or semester is designed for 5-6 weeks, after which there is a week of vacation.

The schedule of modular or semester holidays will be something like this:

  • Autumn holidays will be held twice - from 8 to 14 October and from 19 to 25 November 2018.
  • Winter holidays will also be held twice - from December 29, 2018 to January 8, 2019, and also from February 18 to 24, 2019.
  • Spring break alone - from 8 to 14 April.

For trimesters, the schedule will essentially be the same. Under this system, the year is divided into three academic parts (autumn, winter and spring), with holidays in between and an additional week of rest in the middle of each trimester.

Additional holidays or postponement of holidays in schools and other educational institutions are possible for the following reasons:

  • Low air temperature - minus 25 degrees Celsius for elementary school; minus 28 degrees - for high school; minus 30 degrees for students in grades 10 and 11.
  • Low temperature in classrooms. When the air temperature in the classrooms is below +18 degrees, classes are prohibited.
  • Quarantine and exceeding the threshold of morbidity. Quarantine can be declared in a separate school, a separate district, city or region if the epidemic threshold of incidence of 25% of the total number of students is exceeded.

In addition to the traditional Saturdays, Sundays and holidays in the 2019 2019 academic year, the following dates for public holidays are set:

  • November 4, 2018 is a day off in honor of National Unity Day. Since the holiday falls on Saturday, for schoolchildren, Monday November 6 will be an additional day after the autumn holidays.
  • February 23, 2019 - day off in honor of Defender of the Fatherland Day;
  • March 8, 2019 - International Women's Day;
  • May 1, 2019 - Holiday of Spring and Labor;
  • May 9, 2019 - Victory Day in the Great Patriotic War.

In institutes, universities and other higher educational institutions, vacations during the 2018-2019 academic year will be less, as students rest only in winter and summer. Each university appoints the exact vacation schedule for students depending on the dates of the sessions. Winter holidays for students begin at the end of January and end in mid-February.

In the summer, student vacation dates also depend on the session and practice, which is often scheduled for June, which means that you can go on vacation only in July. Also, the practice can be postponed to August, and the holidays will begin as early as mid-June. It all depends on the particular university, therefore, in order to carefully plan your vacation, you need to clarify the data in the administration of the university. The only thing that can be said for sure is that the holidays should not be less than 6 weeks.

Holidays are a long-awaited time for any student. Many begin to want to take a break from the lessons from the first school days of the quarter. Schoolchildren are actively making plans for their free time, especially high school students who do not have much of it.

Parents do not lag behind - many of them try to take vacations during the holidays to spend time with their children. Therefore, it is important for many to know in advance what dates the holidays fall on.

Check out the school holiday schedule

Depending on the mode of operation of the school, vacations take place at different times, coinciding only on New Year's holidays.

Please select which education system your school is running.

How vacation dates are determined

The vacation calendar is determined by the Department of Education. However, there are some pitfalls here. In particular, the fact that the dates set are advisory.

That is, the administration of educational institutions has the right to independently adjust the vacation schedule in accordance with the curriculum or any other internal factors. At the same time, the changed dates should not shift more than two weeks from the official vacation dates.

Another reason for differences in vacation schedules is different forms of education. In some schools, they study traditionally in quarters, in others they switched to a more modern modular system - training in trimesters. Accordingly, the vacation schedule also differs, and the Department of Education gives separate recommendations on dates.

Question about one-time vacation

The liberties allowed in setting the vacation schedule is the reason that in Moscow, St. Petersburg and the regions they often do not take place simultaneously. The question of whether this is correct has been actively discussed lately. A one-time vacation would make it more convenient to hold various events for schoolchildren, including olympiads. True, no consensus has yet been reached, and, apparently, schools do not want to lose their privilege to determine the rest time for students themselves.

Holidays in institutions of secondary vocational education

  • Winter holidays: from December 30, 2019 to January 12, 2020.
  • Summer holidays: from June 29, 2020 to August 31, 2020.

Holidays in higher education institutions

  • Winter holidays: from January 25 to February 9, 2020.
  • Summer holidays: at least 35 days according to the approved schedule of the educational process.

In addition to planned holidays, classes at school can be

The authorities of Ecuador have deprived Julian Assange of asylum in the London embassy. The founder of WikiLeaks is detained by the British police, and this has already been called the biggest betrayal in the history of Ecuador. Why is Assange being avenged and what awaits him?

Julian Assange, a programmer and journalist from Australia, became widely known after the WikiLeaks website he founded published secret documents from the US State Department, as well as materials related to military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan in 2010.

But it was quite difficult to find out who the policemen, supporting by the arms, were taking out of the building. Assange grew a beard and did not look at all like the energetic man that he had so far presented in photographs.

According to Ecuadorian President Lenin Moreno, Assange's asylum was denied because of his repeated violations of international conventions.

He is expected to remain at a police station in central London until he appears before Westminster Magistrates' Court.

Why the President of Ecuador is accused of betrayal

Former President of Ecuador Rafael Correa called the decision of the current government the biggest betrayal in the history of the country. "What he (Moreno. - Approx. ed.) did is a crime that humanity will never forget," Correa said.

London, on the contrary, thanked Moreno. The British Foreign Office believes that justice has prevailed. The representative of the Russian diplomatic department, Maria Zakharova, has a different opinion. "The hand of 'democracy' is squeezing the throat of freedom," she said. The Kremlin expressed the hope that the rights of the arrested person would be respected.

Ecuador harbored Assange because the former president was center-left, critical of US policy, and welcomed WikiLeaks' publication of classified documents on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Even before the Internet activist needed asylum, he managed to get to know Correa personally: he interviewed him for the Russia Today channel.

However, in 2017, the government in Ecuador changed, the country headed for rapprochement with the United States. The new president called Assange "a stone in the shoe" and immediately made it clear that his stay on the territory of the embassy would not be delayed.

According to Correa, the moment of truth came at the end of June last year, when US Vice President Michael Pence arrived in Ecuador on a visit. Then everything was decided. “You can be sure: Lenin is just a hypocrite. He has already agreed with the Americans about the fate of Assange. And now he is trying to make us swallow the pill, saying that Ecuador allegedly continues the dialogue,” Correa said in an interview with Russia Today.

How Assange made new enemies

The day before his arrest, WikiLeaks editor-in-chief Kristin Hrafnsson said that Assange was under total surveillance. "WikiLeaks uncovered a massive spy operation against Julian Assange at the Ecuadorian embassy," he said. According to him, cameras and voice recorders were placed around Assange, and the information received was transmitted to the administration of Donald Trump.

Hrafnsson specified that Assange was going to be expelled from the embassy a week earlier. This did not happen only because WikiLeaks made this information public. A high-ranking source told the portal about the plans of the Ecuadorian authorities, but the head of the Ecuadorian Foreign Ministry, Jose Valencia, denied the rumors.

Assange's expulsion was preceded by a corruption scandal involving Moreno. In February, WikiLeaks published the INA Papers package, which traced the operations of the offshore company INA Investment, founded by the brother of the Ecuadorian leader. In Quito, they said that this was a plot by Assange with Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and former head of Ecuador Rafael Correa to overthrow Moreno.

In early April, Moreno complained about Assange's behavior in Ecuador's London mission. “We have to protect the life of Mr. Assange, but he has already crossed all the lines in terms of violating the agreement that we came to with him,” the president said. “This does not mean that he cannot speak freely, but he cannot lie and hack ". At the same time, back in February last year, it became known that Assange at the embassy was deprived of the opportunity to interact with the outside world, in particular, he was turned off access to the Internet.

Why Sweden stopped persecuting Assange

At the end of last year, Western media, citing sources, reported that Assange would be charged in the United States. This was never officially confirmed, but it was precisely because of Washington's position that Assange had to take refuge in the Ecuadorian embassy six years ago.

Sweden, in May 2017, stopped investigating two cases of rape in which the founder of the portal was accused. Assange demanded compensation from the country's government for legal costs in the amount of 900,000 euros.

Earlier, in 2015, Swedish prosecutors also dropped three charges against him due to the statute of limitations.

Where did the rape investigation lead?

Assange arrived in Sweden in the summer of 2010, hoping to get protection from US authorities. But he was under investigation for rape. In November 2010, a warrant for his arrest was issued in Stockholm, and Assange was put on the international wanted list. He was detained in London, but was soon released on bail of 240 thousand pounds.

In February 2011, a British court ruled to extradite Assange to Sweden, followed by a series of successful appeals for the founder of WikiLeaks.

The British authorities placed him under house arrest before deciding to extradite him to Sweden. Breaking his promise to the authorities, Assange asked for asylum in the Ecuadorian embassy, ​​which was granted to him. Since then, the UK has had its own grievances against the founder of WikiLeaks.

What's next for Assange?

The man was re-arrested following a U.S. extradition request for publishing classified documents, police said. At the same time, Deputy Foreign Minister Alan Duncan said that Assange would not be sent to the United States if he faced the death penalty there.

In the UK, Assange is likely to appear in court on the afternoon of 11 April. This is stated on the WikiLeaks Twitter page. It is likely that the British authorities will seek a maximum sentence of 12 months, the man's mother said, citing his lawyer.

At the same time, the Swedish prosecutor's office is considering reopening the investigation into the rape allegation. Lawyer Elizabeth Massey Fritz, who represented the interests of the victim, will seek this.

According to modern Russian laws, there is no single school vacation schedule in the country: in accordance with the order of the Ministry of Education, educational institutions have the right to independently set the schedule for children's rest, the number of short holidays and their duration. The only exception is Moscow, where all schoolchildren study and rest according to one of two schedules: the traditional one, when the academic year is divided into four quarters, and the modular one (five weeks of study and one rest) and for each option, uniform vacation periods are established.


In other regions of Russia, educational authorities usually issue recommendations in which they suggest that educational institutions set the dates for the start and end of vacations, leaving the final decision “at the mercy” of the school administration.


Vacations are recommended to start on Monday (so that the weekend "pluses" them), which allows not "" school weeks into parts and increase the duration of uninterrupted rest for schoolchildren. The exact duration of the holidays is also not regulated - as a rule, 30-35 days are allotted for rest during the school year, which allows you to fully complete the curriculum by the end of May.


Despite such freedom, most Russian schools have a conservative approach to the issue of determining the schedule of school holidays - as a result, most of the country's schoolchildren have a rest at the same time.


What will be the vacation dates in the 2016-2017 academic year in most Russian schools?

Fall break dates 2016

Autumn holidays are traditionally held in early November and fall on the week in which Russians celebrate National Unity Day (November 4).


In 2016 autumn holidays will start on October 31(Monday) and will last until the end of the week, until November 6 (Sunday). The second academic quarter will begin on November 7th. Thus, in schools where it is a school day, schoolchildren will rest for 8 days, students for five days - 9.


However, National Unity Day this year falls on a Friday. Therefore, in some schools, the start date of the autumn holidays-2016 can be set on November 7, which will increase the duration of the holidays by adding a holiday to them. In this case, students will have a rest until November 13, and the duration of the rest will be 10 days.

Schedule of winter school holidays 2016-2017


The winter school holidays that fall on the New Year holidays and separate the second quarter from the third are especially loved by schoolchildren - they are the longest of all "intra-annual" ones. In addition, they coincide with the all-Russian holiday period for adults, which allows families to spend time together, including when traveling. Therefore, the timing of the winter holidays, as a rule, is of particular concern to the parents of schoolchildren.


The winter vacation for schoolchildren they begin on the last Monday of December. In 2016-2017, the "start" will be quite early - the last Monday of the month falls on number 26(that is, schoolchildren will begin to rest from Sunday, December 25th). Children will have time to properly prepare for the main holiday of winter. True, the New Year's holiday will end earlier than usual - on January 8th.


The third, longest academic quarter starts on January 9, on Monday - it is on this day that schoolchildren will have to sit down at their desks again.

Terms of additional holidays for first graders


The third quarter is especially difficult for first-graders - they are not yet accustomed to the traditional school schedule, and therefore, in the middle of the third quarter, “special” holidays are arranged for them. To the envy of all other schoolchildren, they rest at the end of February for a whole week.


In 2016-2017 academic year additional holidays will start on February 20 and will last until the 26th, coinciding with the celebration of Defender of the Fatherland Day.


In the same period, students of correctional schools will also have a rest - they are also subject to the rule on additional vacations.

Spring School Break Dates - 2017


Spring break most often falls in the last week of March. The 2016-2017 academic year will be no exception.


Schoolchildren will be dismissed for vacation on Monday, March 27- and they will rest for one week, until April 2. Taking into account Sunday, the duration of the March rest will be 8 days with a six-day training period, and 9 days with a five-day training regime.


April 3rd will be the first day of the fourth quarter. It will last until the end of May (depending on the school, the academic year in all grades except 9 and 11 ends between May 21 and 31), after which schoolchildren will have three months of summer vacation.

Vacation schedule in 2016-2017 with the modular training mode "5 + 1"

In those schools in Moscow where the parents of students have chosen not the classical schedule of study with the division of the academic year into four quarters, but the modular scheme "five weeks of study - one week of rest", holidays in 2016-2017 will take place at the following dates:


  • from October 3 to October 9;

  • from November 14 to November 20;

  • from December 31 to January 8;

  • from February 20 to February 26;

  • from 10 April to 16 April.

Vacation schedule for quarters in Moscow schools

Pupils of Moscow schools, where the educational process is organized according to the traditional “four quarters” scheme, will have a rest in the 2016-2017 academic year in the same way as most schoolchildren in the country:



  • autumn vacation from October 31 to November 6;


  • the winter vacation from December 26 to January 8;


  • spring vacation from March 27 to April 2;


  • additional holidays for the first classes - from 20 to 26 February.


How to find vacation dates at your school

As already mentioned, the exact vacation schedule in each particular school in Russia (excluding Moscow) is determined by the administration of the educational institution and may differ from the generally accepted one.


Therefore, in order to accurately plan the child's vacation, you need to clarify the dates at your school. This can be done in various ways:



  • Check with your class teacher or secretary. At the beginning of the school year, the vacation schedule has already been approved, and the exact dates are known to all school staff (teachers prepare work programs in subjects for the school year based on this information).


  • View on the school website. Information about the dates of the beginning and end of the academic year, as well as the vacation schedule should be in the section on the organization of the educational process.


  • If the school uses an electronic diary system- the schedule of school holidays for 2016-2017 can also be viewed in it. Even if the school administration does not inform parents about the dates for the start and end of studies, by scrolling through the magazine forward, you can see until what date the classes are planned to be held.

About when the autumn holidays at schools in Russia in 2018, as well as when the holidays for schoolchildren in 2019 - read the TopNews material.

When are the holidays for schoolchildren in 2018 in autumn in Russia?

Holidays are the most favorite time for students. And even those who left the walls of the school a long time ago remember the times of rest with a cheerful smile. Both students and their parents are waiting for a break in the educational process, but the autumn ones - the very first - are waiting with special impatience.

Many students, and their parents as well, notice that in different educational institutions the autumn holidays fall on different intcbatch time. The reason for this discrepancy is the learning process adopted in each particular school. The academic year can be divided either into four parts - quarters, or three - trimesters. At the end of each part, there must be a short break. The 2018-2019 academic year is no exception.

When is the autumn break for quarterly schools

As a rule, in institutions with a quarter system of education, the first holidays fall in October, most often in the last week of the month. The autumn holidays 2018-2019 will not be an exception - the rest will begin on October 29. But with the start date of the second quarter, some questions may arise.

The fact is that during the autumn holidays of the 2018-2019 academic year, National Unity Day falls - an important public holiday, and therefore a general day off. It is celebrated on November 4, Sunday. According to the law on the transfer of holidays, the day after the holiday will be a day off - Monday, November 5th. Thus, the holidays are extended for another day, and instead of seven days, schoolchildren will rest for eight whole days. And if we add to this the official weekend before the start of the holiday - Saturday October 27 (if the school has a five-day period) and Sunday October 28, then schoolchildren will have a rest in the fall for nine or even ten days.

Holidays at school for the 2018-2019 academic year by trimester calendar

Nevertheless, we can, of course, outline the approximate scope of the holidays. If any of the schools chooses a different timetable, it will in any case not differ from the one given by us by more than a week.

So, if the school works in quarters, then the holidays fall on the period from October 29 to November 5. Given that October 29 is Monday, the actual vacation will begin on October 27 or 28, depending on whether the children study on Saturday.

Recall that Monday, November 5, will be a day off due to the national holiday, which falls on the 4th.

If the school uses trimesters, then the autumn holidays will divide the school year twice:

  • from 8 to 14 October,
  • from 19 to 25 November.

When studying at school in quarters, the recommended rest periods in schools, gymnasiums and lyceums are 7 calendar days in autumn, 2 weeks in winter and 1 week in spring. Two additional days, at the discretion of the administration of the educational institution, can be added to the autumn or winter rest, taking into account public holidays (November 4 and New Year).

This means that the vacation schedule for 2018-2019. may include the following vacation dates:

  • autumn - from October 27 to November 5, 2018;
  • winter - from 12/26/2018 to 01/08/2019;
  • spring - from 23 to 31 March 2019

Summer holidays begin for elementary school students on May 23-25, and for high school students (except for grades 9 and 11) - from June 1. Graduates will complete the educational process in accordance with the schedule of exams, taking place from the end of May to the end of June.

National Unity Day in 2018 falls on Sunday, so the autumn holidays of the 2018-2019 academic year will most likely begin on October 29 and end on November 5, amounting to 8 days, and taking into account the days off (October 27 and 28) - 9-10 days. During this time, students will be able to have a good rest, visit museums and theaters, go to the cinema and spend time with their parents and friends.

Autumn holidays for the modular learning system

Holidays with a modular system are calculated according to the following scheme: training - 5-6 weeks, then rest - 7 days. Children take the following breaks in their studies:

  • in autumn 2018, these days fall on October 7-13 and November 18-24;
  • in winter - from 12/29/2018 to 01/08/2019 and February 18-24;
  • spring 2019 - April 8-14.
  • summer holidays - from June 1 to August 31.

Vacation schedule 2018-2019 for schoolchildren by trimesters

The training schedule for trimesters is quite simple - students according to such a system spend 5 weeks in class, after which the 6th week is a vacation. The result is the following school trimester dates for 2018-2019:

  • 1st trimester: September 1, 2018 - October 6, 2018;
  • 1 autumn holidays - from 7 to 14 October 2018
