YOGYAKARTA - Ramadan 2025 is getting closer, and many students and parents are starting to look for information about the school holiday schedule at the beginning of the fasting month. This holiday is something to look forward to because it provides a break from the daily learning routine.

Apart from being a time to rest, this moment also provides opportunities for students to focus more on worship during the holy month. With school holidays, they can arrange better times for fasting, praying, and participating in various religious activities.

Not only that, the early Ramadan holiday is also the right time for families to gather and spend time together. This togetherness can strengthen relations between family members, especially in carrying out worship together and preparing various needs during the fasting month.

The government has set a school holiday schedule for Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr through a Joint Circular Letter (SEB) of 3 Ministers. Based on the letter, the initial fasting holiday will last for seven days, from Thursday, February 27, 2025 to Wednesday, March 5, 2025.

Even though teaching and learning activities in schools are temporarily suspended, students are still advised to do independent learning at home. Schools or madrasas will provide tasks that can be done during this period. In addition, independent learning can also be done in the family environment, places of worship, or the community, in accordance with the directions of their respective education units.

After Ramadan's early holiday period is over, school activities will return to normal from Thursday, March 6, 2025 to Tuesday, March 25, 2025. Students are expected to return to learning activities with enthusiasm after resting for a while during the early fasting holidays.

In addition to the initial fasting holiday, students will also get a long holiday during Eid al-Fitr. The 2025 Eid holiday will last for 14 days, starting from Wednesday, March 26, 2025 to Tuesday, April 8, 2025. This period includes the national holiday of Eid al-Fitr, collective leave, and school holidays that have been set in the Ministerial Decree 3rd.

In contrast to the initial fasting holiday which remains accompanied by independent duties, this Eid holiday is completely free from academic duties. Students can take advantage of this time to gather with their families, stay in touch, and enjoy the atmosphere of Eid without school burdens.

With this official schedule, students and parents can more easily plan their activities during the month of Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr. Make sure to complete school assignments before entering a long holiday period so you can enjoy this special moment without academic disorders!

The Idea Of Activities When Children Take Ramadan Holidays

During school holidays in the month of Ramadan, children can still have useful activities so that their time is more productive and not only filled with sleep or playing gadgets. Here are some ideas for activities that children can do during the Ramadan fasting holiday:

Ramadan Holidays are the right moment to increase worship, one of which is by reading and memorizing the Qur'an. Parents can set daily targets so that children are more enthusiastic, such as reading one juz per day or memorizing certain verses.

Many mosques and the Islamic community hold special studies for children during Ramadan. Invite children to attend interpretation classes, hadiths, or stories of the prophet can be a fun way to add to their religious knowledge.

Children can make Ramadan decorations such as Eid al-Fitr greeting cards, paper lensing, or worship calendars. This activity not only hones creativity but also makes them better understand the meaning of the holy month.

Involve children in preparing food for sahur and breaking the fast. They can help wash ingredients, compose menus, or create simple takjil such as fruit ice and kolak. It also teaches them the value of togetherness and responsibility.

In order to remain fun, children can play educational games such as Islamic quizzes, puzzles about Ramadan, or play monopolies with modified Islamic themes. This game helps them learn while remaining entertained.
