(Dan Tri) - Phu Tho College of Electromechanics, Foreign Trade College of Technology, Vietnam College of Medical and Pharmaceutical Technology give students 3 weeks off for Lunar New Year, some schools only have 9-16 days off.

MSc. Tran Thi Thuy Lan - Principal of Phu Tho College of Electromechanics - said that the school's students will have 23 days off for the 2025 Lunar New Year, from January 25, 2025 to February 16, 2025 (December 26 - January 19 of the lunar calendar).

"The school must arrange a three-week Tet holiday so that ethnic minority students can celebrate Tet according to their ethnic traditions," added Ms. Tran Thi Thuy Lan.

Phu Tho College of Electromechanics has a large number of students coming from mountainous provinces such as Lai Chau, Dien Bien, Son La, Ha Giang, Yen Bai . Among them, the proportion of ethnic minority students is relatively high. Some ethnic groups have the tradition of celebrating Tet until the full moon of the first lunar month.

In addition, every year, Phu Tho College of Electromechanics is lent its facilities by Thanh Ba district to hold military recruitment and departure ceremonies right after Tet. Therefore, the school also has to postpone the student enrollment time to reserve dormitories for the army.

Vietnam College of Medical and Pharmaceutical Technology and Foreign Trade College of Technology both announced a 20-day Tet holiday schedule, from January 20, 2025 to February 9, 2025. This holiday schedule applies to all campuses in the North, Central and South of these two schools.
