An article published on February 24, 2026, highlights that excessive or unplanned holidays in educational institutions significantly disrupt students’ learning continuity and academic progress. The report explains that while periodic breaks are necessary for rest, frequent or extended closures caused by administrative decisions, political events, weather disruptions, or social factors can slow curriculum completion, reduce teaching efficiency, and weaken exam preparation.

The analysis notes that such interruptions create knowledge gaps, force teachers to spend valuable time reviewing old lessons, and increase stress among students who must rush through condensed material. It also points out that students from disadvantaged backgrounds suffer more due to limited access to supplementary learning resources during breaks. Administratively, unplanned holidays compel schools to make ad hoc adjustments such as rescheduling exams or shortening lessons, which can compromise teaching quality.

The article concludes that repeated disruptions may have lasting effects on students’ motivation, discipline, and long-term academic and professional outcomes. It calls for careful planning of holiday schedules and strategic interventions, including digital learning support, to maintain consistent, high-quality education.
