How dates are set
Who decides
School holidays in Austria are set by federal law (Schulzeitgesetz) and the education ministry, with the nine Länder for the semester break.
Austria's autumn, Christmas, Easter and Whitsun breaks are the same nationwide. The one-week semester break in February and the start of the summer break depend on the Land: Vienna, Lower Austria and Burgenland start summer a week before the other six.
Single schools can add a few days of their own (for example for teacher training or local feasts). Check with your school for those.
