The Bangladesh government has declared a seven-day holiday for government officials and employees on the occasion of Eid-ul-Azha. According to the 2026 academic calendar, schools and colleges will remain closed for 16 consecutive days, while madrasas will have a 21-day break. The information was released through a Cabinet Division press statement.

The notice stated that Saturday, May 23, will not be a holiday, and all government employees must attend work that day. Although the government office schedule has been adjusted, the academic institutions’ holiday schedule remains unchanged. For primary, lower secondary, and secondary levels, the summer and Eid holidays will run from May 24 to June 4, with weekends extending the total to 16 days. Colleges will follow a similar pattern, while madrasas will remain closed from May 24 to June 11, totaling 21 days including weekends.

These extended holidays align with the national academic calendar and are intended to accommodate both the religious festival and the summer vacation period.
