Kevätlukukauteen

Kevätlukukauteen is a Finnish term that translates to "spring term" or "spring semester" in English. It refers to the second academic period of the year in educational institutions in Finland. This term typically begins after the winter break, usually in January, and concludes in late May or early June, before the summer holidays commence. The kevätlukukauteen encompasses a significant portion of the academic year, during which students attend classes, complete assignments, and sit for examinations.

The duration and specific dates of the kevätlukukauteen can vary slightly depending on the educational level and institution, whether it's a primary school, secondary school, vocational school, or university. It marks a period of intense study and learning, leading up to the end of the academic year. The completion of the kevätlukukauteen often signifies the end of a grade level or a stage of study, and for many, it precedes summer holidays and potential career advancements or further educational pursuits. The term emphasizes the cyclical nature of the Finnish academic calendar, with the kevätlukukauteen following the syyslukukauteen (autumn term).
