As reported by the press service of the Ministry of Education and Science of Tajikistan on January 10, based on the order of the Minister of Education, due to severe cold, winter holidays have been extended until January 16, 2023. The order applies only to preschool and general education institutions in the country, including private ones.

Classes will resume on January 16. Lessons scheduled during this period will be compensated in the second half of the 2022-2023 academic year by adjusting the spring and summer holidays.

Earlier, the Hydrometeorology Agency reported that abnormal cold is expected in Tajikistan from January 10 to 14. Temperatures may drop to 15-20 degrees below zero.

Most schools in Tajikistan are unable to properly heat classrooms during the winter period. Many students and parents complain about the lack of heating in classrooms. Due to the low temperatures, children attend classes in outerwear. The government has been unable to resolve this issue for 30 years.
