Summer break begins for students across Jordan

Summer vacation officially began on Wednesday for students in both public and private schools across Jordan, following the conclusion of final exams for the second semester.

According to the academic calendar issued by the Ministry of Education, 12th-grade students in public schools completed their exams on May 26, while private school students wrapped up theirs earlier, around June 15.

The Ministry clarified that the official start of summer break for public schools is June 4, 2025. Private schools, however, began their holidays earlier following the end of exams for both secondary and basic education stages in mid-June.

The break includes all grade levels except for Tawjihi (General Secondary Education Certificate) students, who continue preparations for their national exams. The holiday will last until the new academic year begins in August 2025.

The Ministry added that teachers and administrative staff will complete exam grading and issue school certificates by the end of June. It encouraged students and parents to make the most of the summer break through educational and recreational activities that help develop skills and recharge energy.
