5 octombrie 2026, zi liberă pentru elevi și profesori. Minivacanță de Ziua Internațională a Educației

On October 5, 2026, students and teachers will have a day off to celebrate International Education Day, resulting in a three-day weekend. This day off is part of the official school calendar for the 2026-2027 academic year, approved by the Ministry of Education. While classes will not be held, this day is not a public holiday for all workers in Romania, meaning parents may not have a day off from work. The day commemorates the adoption of UNESCO's recommendation on the status of teachers in 1966, highlighting the importance of educators and the challenges faced by education systems. Following this break, classes will resume on October 6, 2026, leading into the autumn vacation scheduled for late October.
