All Mongolian students from secondary schools in nationwide will take a break from 20 December to 28 January for 6 weeks.

Over the past two years, Mongolian educational institutions conducted more than 30 percent of their classes in classrooms due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The country of 3.4 million has taken some of the world’s toughest and most enduring measures against the Covid-19 pandemic, shutting schools and kindergartens since January 2020 and plunging children into a purgatory of remote learning with patchy access to technology.

On 1 September, 2021, pupils in all 21 provinces of Mongolia set to return to the classroom, after authorities approved the return to on-site teaching in a balancing act between coronavirus concerns and children’s education. Now, students will enjoy 6 weeks long school break from 20 December, 2021.
