Tet holiday is also an opportunity for students to have useful extracurricular activities.
Reader Nguyen Minh said: "For students, the number of days of Tet holiday is too few. So, we should be flexible in this Tet holiday schedule, adding 1 week to it, and delaying summer vacation by 1 week will not affect anything."
Parent Huu Tuan Nguyen supported: "The city should arrange the students' vacation time to be 2 weeks long so that the children have enough time to enjoy the holidays, parents are not pressured by long-distance travel, and also to stimulate the economy during the traditional Tet holiday."
Tony Tran said: "A 2-week break is appropriate". Reader ductribk confided: "Tet is the biggest holiday of the year, a day of reunion, an opportunity to stimulate economic development. Anyone living far away from home looks forward to the end of the year to return home to reunite with their grandparents and parents, to visit their homeland, and it is also an opportunity for students to rest. It is an opportunity for them to understand the customs and practices of the country. It is an opportunity for them to know their homeland, what the fields, buffaloes and cows are like. For students in big cities, why do you force them to take a break like their parents? Tet is a long extracurricular period that is much more useful than studying theory at school. Please do not mechanically impose all issues without the consensus of the people".
A parent named Ngoc Ho wrote: "Every school year, I see that for about 20 days at the end of the year, students only come to school to play until the end of the year, waiting for summer vacation because they have finished their curriculum. Except for the final year students of middle school and high school. So why don't we let them have a little more time off? Going back to the countryside can also be considered very meaningful study sessions."
Faced with the reality of a long summer break and a very short Tet holiday this year, with students in Ho Chi Minh City only having 9 days off, reader leviettuan240387 shared: "In the summer, most of the children are off school, so their parents have to find a place to send them or send them to summer school. A long Tet holiday creates much more emotional attachment."
9 days from North to South...
Many parents, teachers, and students are worried that this year, students in Ho Chi Minh City only have 9 days off for Tet, so their travel schedule is very difficult and hectic.
Hung Pham said: "The city has too many immigrants, so we should give them more time off during Tet to visit home."

Account TngQ... shared: "Too little rest, it takes 4 days to travel from home by car round trip, the remaining 5 days are divided into 2 hometowns, 2 days to the husband's hometown, 2 days to the wife's hometown. 1 more day of travel, this schedule is not for Tet holiday, but racing with Tet, exhausted".
vietnhi channel said: "9 days from north to south, from south to north by train, there is really not a single minute of rest. 26th of Tet holiday, at the most urgent, take the train on 27th. When arriving on the morning of 30th, no breathing, no lying down, even no bathing, spend 5-6 hours to end the year. Then pack up and go back to school and work for your children. Don't even think about studying and working effectively in the first week of the year."
Many provinces and cities have announced the 2025 Tet holiday schedule for students. For example, Ba Ria-Vung Tau will give students 13 days off for Tet; students in Quang Ninh, Soc Trang, Tra Vinh, Binh Phuoc, Tay Ninh, Yen Bai, Lao Cai will have 14 days off for Tet. Students in Kon Tum will have 17 days off for Tet.
Students in Ho Chi Minh City will have 9 days off for Tet 2025, from December 26 to January 5 - 7 days less than last year.
