2023-2024 winter vacation time in Henan

The winter vacation in Henan in 2023-2024 will generally start on January 13, 2024, and the start of school will be on February 6, 2024.

In Henan, winter vacation generally starts around the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month and lasts until one week after the Lantern Festival. The setting of this time period is mainly due to the fact that students are stressed during school and need time to rest and relax. During the winter vacation, students can return home and spend traditional festivals such as the Spring Festival with their families. At the same time, they can also engage in some useful activities, such as reading, exercising, traveling, etc.

The reason why Henan’s winter vacation this year is longer than in previous years is mainly because the Spring Festival is earlier and to make up for part of the time for online teaching during the epidemic. In addition, in order to protect the health and safety of students, the Henan Provincial Education Department also requires schools in various places to strengthen safety education during the winter vacation and do a good job in epidemic prevention and control to ensure that students have a safe and enjoyable vacation.
