The next school year in the Balearic Islands will have a total of 176 school days and will begin on September 10, 2026, according to the resolution approved by the Ministry of Education and Universities, which was presented this Wednesday to the corresponding Advisory Council.

The school year ends around June 20th and resumes the second week of September. Every year, when classroom temperatures exceed 30°C and most schools lack air conditioning, the same controversy resurfaces: while some families and experts advocate limiting summer vacation to July and August, the realities of school climates force the question of whether it's advisable for students to spend more days in class in June and begin the new school year. It's a debate that combines pedagogy, well-being, the state of school infrastructure, and work-life balance.
