Is April 22 a holiday? Are schools, universities, and the private sector closed on April 23, 2025?
Ahead of the April 23 National Sovereignty and Children's Day, questions are being raised about whether April 22 is a holiday. The Grand National Assembly of Turkey (TBMM), the symbol of Turkey's struggle for independence, was founded on April 23, 1920. The Great Leader Mustafa Kemal Atatürk gifted this meaningful day to children in 1929, and since then, April 23 has been celebrated with enthusiasm as National Sovereignty and Children's Day. So, is April 22 a holiday? Is April 23 an official holiday? How will the holiday schedule apply to schools, universities, and private sector employees?
With April 23 National Sovereignty and Children's Day falling on a Wednesday this year, there is curiosity about whether Tuesday, April 22, will be a holiday. Ahead of April 23, which is the Republic of Turkey's first national holiday and also the only holiday in the world gifted to children, questions such as "Is April 22 an official holiday?" and "Will schools be closed on April 22?" have come to the fore. So, how will the holiday schedule work on this special date? Here are the answers...
IS APRIL 22 A HALF-DAY HOLIDAY?
According to the relevant articles of the Law on National Holidays and General Vacations, April 23 National Sovereignty and Children's Day has the status of an official holiday. However, April 22 is not included in the scope of either a full-day or half-day official holiday. Therefore, this date before April 23 will be treated as a normal working day.
ARE SCHOOLS CLOSED ON APRIL 22?
Since Tuesday, April 22, is not a holiday, schools will continue their education. Likewise, all workplaces will continue to operate during their normal working hours.
