The first day of school in Vietnam is September 5. However, nowadays students begin going to school in early or mid-August.
In Vietnam, a school year is divided into two semesters: the first begins in mid or late in August and lasts until the end of December, while the second begins right after the first, which is about mid- January and ends in May.
In Vietnam, a school day starts from 7 AM to 11 AM in the morning, from 1 PM to 4 PM or 5 PM in the afternoon, from Monday to Friday and Saturday morning for some schools. Students will have a 30-minute break in the morning and the afternoon as well.
