Nearly 18 million students across Türkiye will receive their report cards on Friday and begin their summer vacation, bringing the 2025-2026 academic year to a close after 10 months of schooling.
The academic year began on Sept. 8, 2025, for students in preschool, primary and secondary education institutions affiliated with the Ministry of National Education (MEB). Following semester breaks in November and March, the second term, which started on Feb. 2, will officially end on June 26.
To mark the final week of school, the ministry prepared a nationwide program of cultural, artistic and sports activities designed to support students' intellectual, social, emotional and physical development.
The activities are being organized under an "virtue-value-action" framework and aim to encourage learning through games and participation without placing additional financial burdens on families.
The school year also saw the continued implementation of the Century of Türkiye Education Model curriculum, which was gradually introduced in kindergarten classes, primary school grades one and two, middle school grades 5 and 6, and high school preparatory, 9th and 10th grades.
