Mauritius Schools Reopen Monday 19 October After Half-Term
Classes resume across Mauritius on Monday 19 October after the mid-term school holiday break.
Schools across Mauritius are set to reopen on Monday 19 October, marking the end of the mid-term holiday break for students at all levels of the national education system.
The resumption applies to primary and secondary schools island-wide, bringing pupils back to classrooms after a short rest period built into the Mauritian academic calendar.
The Mauritian school year is divided into three terms, with brief holidays separating each term to give students and teachers time to rest. The mid-term break typically falls in October, midway through the second term of the year.
Parents are advised to ensure children are ready to return on Monday morning, with the usual school transport and bus schedules expected to be back in full operation.
The Ministry of Education, National Resources and Science in Mauritius oversees the academic calendar for state and private schools. Any changes to school schedules, exam dates or holiday periods are communicated through the ministry and school administrations.
What this means: For families across the island, the return to school on 19 October signals a return to normal weekday routines after the holiday. It is a reminder for parents to check that uniforms, stationery and school bags are prepared, and to confirm transport arrangements in advance. Students sitting national examinations later in the year, including the Certificate of Primary Education and the Higher School Certificate, will want to use the remaining term weeks to consolidate their preparation.
