Schools on the Island usually offer four 1-month holidays per year. These are during the months of January, April, July and October. The April & July holidays are the traditional ones during which families will go away on holiday

Kenmoria is an illiberal yet democratic nation pursuing the goals of communism in a semi-effective fashion. It has a very broad diplomatic presence despite being economically developing, mainly to seek help in recovering from the effect of a recent civil war.

The number of vacation weeks varies every year, but usually, it is 6-8 weeks of summer vacation, 2-3 weeks around Christmas and new year, 2-3 weeks around Easter and then there are 6-2 weeks left. These take place in winter and autumn.

Every summer in the Reich, the military academies suspend instruction to allow cadets some time off. Lasting about a month, Cadets are allowed a significant amount of free time, but still must maintain physical and ethical standards.

After leave has ended, a physical as well as a fitness test is conducted to ensure that cadets maintain standards. If they gained weight or preformed slower than their last test, harsh disciplinary action is taken.

My nation's education system doesn't have a summer break in the traditional sense. Each student is allowed to determine their own breaks, for students under high school their parents. Even then it's not really a "break" as the system has quarter-long classes. Students are still expected to finish their work during this break. More dedicated students often go to class once or twice a week to gather notes and work and stay home the remainder of the time. For Students that need extra help, the system is open Saturday and Sunday for tutoring and extra classes/lessons. The system also offers a plethora of online classes. One of the greatest parts of the Roman Education System is that because it's nationalized your file follows you. So if you move states or schools they already have your file no needed information. College Applications system log into their DOE System Account and select which colleges they wish to apply to and fill out the general questions such as major, essay and community awards.

11 weeks

Mostly because it's too hot to go outside during the summer unless you are either crazy or wearing proper protection

Also 1 week for Christmas + every Sunday and Saturday

That's it for vacation though

The family co-operatives that make up the backbone of the Vaniric economy receive their highest amount of business during the summer, so many work during the summer, and take the early autumn off to spend alone. The Government has mandated six weeks of vacation as a general guideline for time that workers should spend off, and many of the businesses thus give around six weeks off.

The Standard Educational Data Pack (SEDP) takes only 10 minutes to install, so for us, "summer vacation" is effectively a person's entire childhood. This Pack covers the entirety of government-provided universal education, and it covers all of the "booklearning" types of things a Decepticon needs to know. To be clear, this is not a low standard of education - at least, not when it comes to subjects that matter to us. A Decepticon needs to know how to do engineering, mechanical work, coding, and more - not only to survive, but to reproduce. There are some nations where these particular SEDP modules would be considered doctorate-level education.

We do encourage participating in some activities meant to teach skills that require actual practice or a bit of teamwork, such as raid games, but doing so is not mandatory. Anyone who doesn't know how to raid by the time they're an adult will be properly trained during his first stint in the military anyway.

Summer break starts for all students on the first Saturday of July and ends on the first Sunday of September. It's a little shorter than what Americans may be used to, but Lanomiran students also get a 3-ish week winter-"spring" vacation from the first Saturday of February to the second Sunday of March, as well as the entire month of December off, and a 1 week break from October 31st to a week or so after. Schools are typically still open during summer vacation for students to host club activities, but they aren't open during any other vacation periods.
