Global School Holidays Data 2010-2019

We systematically collated school holidays with long breaks (> 16 days) between academic years or school terms for primary/secondary schools in each country. Due to the data availability and similar timings of school terms across years, we used data collated in 2019 to generate the school holidays in 2009-2018. The dataset is available to download in csv format.
