Greece 2026‑2027 school calendar

Entities: Education Endowment Foundation · Brookings Institution · Greece

Overview

In early July 2026 the Greek education ministry announced the pay dates for substitute and permanent teachers for that month.

Later in July the ministry unveiled the full 2026‑2027 school calendar. Classes are set to begin with an opening ceremony on 11 September 2026 and regular lessons on 14 September. The calendar lists national holidays, the Polytechnics anniversary, the Christmas break, Clean Monday, and the Easter break, as well as expected closures when schools serve as polling stations around national elections. The release also highlighted concerns about summer learning loss and promoted summer tutoring programmes, noting research that such programmes can offset several months of lost instruction.

Together, these steps outline Greece’s timetable for the upcoming academic year and its measures to support student learning over the summer.
