The summer vacation of 2026 for students in Romania starts on June 20 and lasts almost 11 weeks. The school year 2026-2027 begins on September 7, bringing important changes to the educational system.

Summer vacation begins for millions of students in Romania on June 20, 2026, and will end in the first week of September. The school year 2026-2027 will start on September 7, with 36 weeks of teaching activity.

Students entering high school in 2026 will be the first generation to take the new Baccalaureate in 2030, which will include extensive competency tests and differentiated written exams. At the same time, the technological pathway will be reorganized, and admission will be done directly to technological high schools, including in a dual system. The Ministry of Education will implement alternative framework plans in dozens of high schools, providing more flexibility in organizing the school program. The programs "School otherwise" and "Green Week" will remain an integral part of the school year, contributing to the development of non-formal education.

Through these changes, the authorities aim to adapt the educational system to the current needs of students and the demands of the labor market.
