"May Day Holiday Notice"
"According to the spirit of the notice of the General Office of the State Council, combined with the actual situation of the school, the 2024 Labor Day holiday arrangement of our school is: April 29 to May 5. Weekends are closed. "Since the 27th and 28th are weekends, this means that the school's May Day holiday is a total of nine days, and there is no compensatory holiday.
Some students said that the school did not take a holiday on May Day last year, and the two weekends before and after plus the middle five days were nine days. This year's Qingming Festival is also not adjusted, and it will be put directly for four days. As a student, I am very happy every time I receive a holiday notice. There are also netizens who call the school a "holiday university".
School Response:
When the teaching task is completed, you can take a vacation
According to upstream news reports, on the 11th, a staff member of the president's office of Changshu Institute of Technology confirmed that the notice was indeed issued, "We have autonomy when colleges and universities are on holiday." ”
As for the so-called "vacation university", he asked rhetorically: "Is there anything wrong with this? We have a strict teaching plan, and according to the teaching plan, the teaching task is completed, and you can take a vacation." ”
Recently, Huazhong Agricultural University has also rushed to the hot search because of not taking a holiday.
On March 28, Huazhong Agricultural University issued an announcement saying that in combination with the school calendar and annual teaching plan, the school has formulated some holiday arrangements throughout the year, and the school will have normal weekends throughout the year and will not make class transfer arrangements.
In response to the media, the relevant person in charge of the school said:
According to the national holiday arrangement for 2024, there are 7 or 6 consecutive days of work and school, and the school has decided to take normal weekends off throughout the year to avoid this situation, but some students may have classes on weekends and have classes in the teaching plan, it is still normal.
There is no problem of more holidays, as long as it is not a national holiday, the school is treated as a normal weekend, hoping to ensure the steady progress of teaching and scientific research at the same time, I hope that teachers and students can better enjoy weekends and holidays.
Colleges and universities have the autonomy to take vacations
The premise of the holiday is to ensure teaching
The relevant person in charge of a university in Shanghai explained that unlike primary and secondary schools, which are unified holidays in the province or the whole city, each university has autonomy over the holiday time, as long as it meets the requirements of school hours throughout the year. For example, due to weather conditions, the winter vacation time of colleges and universities in the northeast is generally longer, and the south is shorter. Among them, the Harbin Conservatory of Music, which has the longest vacation, has 68 days, and the shortest in the south is less than 30 days.
There are also many colleges and universities that also choose to transfer courses during the May Day holiday:
East China Normal University will have a five-day holiday from May 1 to 5, with classes on April 28 (Sunday) and May 2 (Thursday) on May 11 (Saturday).
There are also some colleges and universities that choose spring and autumn vacations to be closed on May Day and November respectively, which are generally eight to nine days. Chinese University of China April 28-30 is the spring break, plus the May Day holiday for a total of eight days, May 2 (Thursday) classes are adjusted to April 27 (Saturday), May 3 (Friday) classes are adjusted to May 11 (Saturday).
