No October mid-term break for CBSE students in UAE: When is their next holiday?
Dubai: While schools following British and certain international curricula will close for the half-term holiday, students enrolled in Indian curriculum schools, including those following the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) or the Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (ISCE) , will continue with their regular classes. So, when will these students get their next break? According to…
While students at Indian curriculum schools, including CBSE-affiliated institutions, will not have a mid-term break in October, they will enjoy an extended winter vacation in December. The next major school holiday for these students will be in December, providing an opportunity for them to rest before the new academic year commences in January.
Seema Umar, principal of Dewvale School, Dubai, confirms that the winter break will serve as a recharge period for students and families. The exact dates for the October mid-term break in the UAE are from Monday, October 12, to Friday, October 16. Schools following the UAE academic calendar, such as many British and international curriculum schools, will observe a nine-day break during this period.
In contrast, CBSE schools typically follow an April-to-March academic cycle, with the October break coinciding with their assessment periods.
