THE Ministry of Education (MoE) has announced that schools across Guyana will reopen on Monday, September 8, 2025, marking the start of the 2025/2026 academic year.

The announcement was made on the ministry’s official Facebook page on Thursday, welcoming both teachers and students back to classrooms.

“The Ministry of Education is happy to welcome our teachers and children back into school on Monday, 8th September, 2025 for the 2025/2026 academic year. We wish all our parents, children and teachers a successful Christmas term and especially welcome the children who will be attending nursery, primary and secondary for the first time,” the post reads.

The opening of schools had been deferred earlier this year due to the September 1 elections.

Education authorities have also noted that a number of new schools will be opening their doors this term, expanding access to education across the country. Parents and students are being urged to prepare for a smooth return, as the ministry emphasised its commitment to ensuring a safe and productive learning environment for all.
