The lengthy summer holidays for schools are mentally challenging not only for children but also for parents. After such an extended break, children often experience fear and anxiety about returning to school. The change in their familiar routines can have a significant impact on their emotions, resulting in unnecessary stress and apprehension.

This extended holiday does not contribute to the growth and stability of children, as the lengthy break disrupts their learning continuity and emotional balance. Many parents are witnessing first-hand how the long summer break can disrupt their child's development, both academically and emotionally.

Research shows that students tend to retain more knowledge with shorter, more frequent breaks throughout the year. Countries with reduced summer holidays often exhibit higher academic performance and happier, healthier students. By transitioning to a more balanced academic calendar, children can enjoy more consistent learning, which leads to better educational outcomes and emotional well-being.

Let’s advocate for a revised school calendar with shorter summer breaks and more evenly distributed holidays throughout the year. This change will not only benefit our children's education but also enhance their emotional and psychological development.

Join us in calling for a school system that prioritizes both education and emotional well-being. Sign the petition to demand a change in the academic calendar for all schools.
