The pupils return to school after Easter Holiday

Over three million pupils start school again on Monday after two week- spring holiday.

Until 25 Mai pupils must sustain the second semester exams and by the end of the year pupils from second, fourth and sixth grades must sustain evaluations.

After that come the national assessment and the baccalaureate exam.

Students will not go to school on May 1 or June 4, the second day of Whitsuntide.

According to the school year calendar, from 23 June to 9 September young people will be in the summer holiday.

Summer holidays are shorter this year than in 2011 when the school year began on 12 September, noted Mediafax.

This year, for the first time one of the spring holiday week was reserved to educational and extracurricular activities.

Titled "Different School" the initiative aimed involving pupils and teachers in non-formal education activities to highlight talents, pupils' extracurricular concerns and skills in various fields.
