More than 500,000 teachers are preparing to return to nearly 28,000 schools across Saudi Arabia next Sunday, along with administrative staff and supervisors.
As schools reopen on Sunday, August 20, after a summer break that lasted 51 days, a new academic year will begin.
Three semesters, interspersed with breaks, will make up the academic year.
The Saudi Ministry of Education has intensified its readiness efforts across all public, private, and international schools.
In line with the newly approved academic calendar, the first semester will kick off on August 20 (4 Safar 1445 AH) and conclude on November 16, 2023 (2 Jumada 1445 AH).
The second semester is scheduled to start on November 26, 2023 (12 Jumada Al Awwal 1445 AH) and end on February 22, 2024 (12 Shaaban 1445 AH).
On March 3, 2024, (22 Shaaban 1445 AH), the third and final semester will begin, and on June 10, 2024, it will end (4 Dhul Qi’dah 1445 AH).
