Like previous years, the issue of school holidays during Ramadan has become a hot topic among the community, students, and educators. However, this year there is an interesting proposal from the government: the possibility of a full month of school holiday during this holy month!

So, what policies will be implemented in 2025? The government, through the relevant ministries, has prepared the latest information to answer various questions that have arisen in the community. Let's check out the complete explanation and get ready to welcome Ramadan with enthusiasm!

1. Ramadan Schedule and Idulfitri Holiday 2025

According to the Hijri calendar for 2025 released by the Ministry of Religious Affairs, the holy month of Ramadan is predicted to begin on March 1 and end on March 30, 2025. However, the exact date will still be determined through a isbat session held by the government to ensure uniformity in setting the start of fasting and the celebration of Idulfitri.

After Ramadan, the community can prepare to celebrate Idulfitri 1446 H with national holidays on March 31 and April 1, followed by joint leave until April 7, 2025. If the policy of a month-long Ramadan holiday is implemented, students will enjoy a long holiday throughout March, before continuing the Idulfitri celebration with a total of eight joyful holiday days!

2. School Holiday Policy During Ramadan

An interesting discourse regarding a full month holiday for students during the month of Ramadan was first expressed by the Deputy Minister of Religious Affairs, Romo Muhammad Syafi'i. Now, the government through the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education (Kemendikdasmen) along with the Ministry of Religious Affairs is designing policies related to this matter.

However, the Minister of Primary and Secondary Education, Abdul Mu'ti, emphasized that instead of a total holiday, the concept of "learning during Ramadan" will be implemented. "We prefer this term as a form of learning for students during the holy month," he asserted, as reported by ANTARA.

Currently, the government is still waiting for the finalization of the circular letter from the three related ministers, namely the Minister of Education, the Minister of Religious Affairs, and the Minister of Home Affairs.

3. Three Policy Options for Ramadan Holidays

The government is currently considering three interesting options regarding school holidays during the month of Ramadan. First, there is the option of a full month off, which provides students the opportunity to engage in religious activities within their community.

Second, a partial holiday that will give a few days of rest before and after the beginning of Ramadan, as well as before Eid al-Fitr. And lastly, even without a full holiday, learning in schools will be adjusted to more flexible hours and methods during this holy month.

4. What About Madrasahs and Islamic Boarding Schools?

Unlike general schools that continue to operate, Islamic boarding schools have ensured to provide time off for their students during the holy month of Ramadan.

In the near future, students and parents will receive certainty regarding the schedule of activities during this blessed holy month.

6. Will students have a holiday during Ramadan 2025?

The latest policy indicates an interesting direction, where the main focus has now shifted to flexible learning through adjustments in hours and methods, rather than taking drastic steps with a full holiday.

7. When is the Idulfitri holiday in 2025?

The Idul Fitri holiday in 2025 will be festive, starting from March 31 to April 7, complete with joint leave that provides us the opportunity to celebrate this special moment with family and loved ones.
