The school year follows the Loa | The school year follows the [[Loa Luni-Ecdysial Calendar]], which measures time along both a lunar calendar and an "ecdysial" calendar that measures the silkworm seasons. There are 304 school days, with 41 holidays and 20 non holiday free days. The start of the school year is November 24th, which continues for the first ecdysial season until the 65th day until the 5 day long break at the end of the season. This continues until the fifth and last season, which is followed by the Loa 15 day New Years celebration. Other major holidays include the three Eid holidays celebrated by Loa Muslims, Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha and Eid al-Gadhir, as well as the 12 lunar holidays, the 2 secular holidays of Peace Day and Constitution Day, and the four Loa religious holidays of Aiasin-sekkin, Huehuekaso-sekkin, Akaru'a-sekkin and Toua-sekkin. Takatta Loa organizes a school year based on a pentester, with the school year being divided into the five ecdysial cycles. | ||
This system applies to primary, secondary and higher education. Furthermore, primary and secondary mandate a seven hour school day with a two hour break in the middle, from noon to 9 pm. This means that on average, a Loa student would experience around 38,304 hours of school from grade 1 to grade 13. However, due to the fact that the lunar calendar is 11 days shorter than the ecdysial calendar, and that both the Muslim holidays and the lunar holidays fall on different days every year, the actual number tends to be larger due to the fact that inevitably some holidays will overlap, meaning that the Loa student can expect to have less than the expected 61 free days every few years. | This system applies to primary, secondary and higher education.
