The spring semester ends on Saturday, 2 June for primary schools, high schools and most vocational schools, and tens of thousands of teens and young adults start their holidays en masse.
Some 58,600 youngsters receive their certificates from primary schools. High school graduates number at nearly 26,800 teens, while about 76,200 vocational students begin life in a new profession.
Schools report that specialist degrees in vocational studies especially are becoming more common.
Some 700 young people also graduate from the "tenth grade", an additional year of aided basic education during which students may improve their grades and develop their skills further before continuing their studies or entering working life. Only five years previously the number of tenth-grade graduates was around 1,800.
Schools start back up again in two months, on 9 August, when some 60,700 children begin the first grade, the National Agency for Education announces.
