European vs American Summer Break
Depending on where you live, summer break can look different for students. Students in America have a very similar summer break in places like Canada and Great Britain. The USA has a generous system for summer vacations. The majority of states allow children to split up for between 8 and 10 weeks, or two and a quarter months. These numbers can vary depending on where you live in the US because it is such a vast country.
The UK has six weeks of summer vacation, which is less than the official 13 weeks. The UK school system allows more time to be taken throughout the year for other reasons. This usually compensates for the absence of a summer vacation. Canada follows very similar rules as the UK. Although Canadian students may get less time off in summer, they still have plenty of holidays during the school year. Canadian summer vacations last about 6-7 weeks.
For summer break, Australian students are allowed to take about six weeks off school. Students are allowed to be away from school for much less time than in Canada and the UK. Europe has many different rules regarding the length of summer vacations. For summer breaks, most European countries allow children to go away from school for 8 weeks.
