Autumn holidays for students will take place in an unusual manner: this year they will last five days, starting from November 11. At the same time, November will not bring new non-working days for the able-bodied population.

Why November 7 and 8 became working days

Despite the fact that November 7 and 8 are observed as the Days of History and Memory of Ancestors, these dates are not holidays. According to the Labor Code signed by President Sadyr Japarov in January 2025, these holidays are officially recognized as working days. This year, these dates also coincided with Saturday and Sunday.
