In the UK, the academic year begins "around" September 1. Local authorities can set the start date for the autumn term as August 30-31 or September 3-4, even if it is mid-week. The start date moves depending on local holidays. The primary school, pre-preparatory school, is attended by children aged 5, and in Northern Ireland - from the age of 4. The first school day is no different from the rest.

In Germany, study begins in late August or the first weeks of September. The administration of the federal state independently establishes the Day of Knowledge every year. High school students arrange a festive concert for first graders, at which kids receive flowers and gifts. A main attribute of every first-grader in Germany is the special gift called "school pack." The pack can be bought in the store, but it is much more interesting to make and decorate it with your parents. Usually, the necessary things for school and, of course, a sweet gift are put in a pack.

In Japan, the land of the rising sun, the year begins generally in April. Sakura blooms throughout the country at this time. What can be more beautiful than starting school life at the moment when all nature is renewed! They go to the first grade from the age of 6, after kindergarten. They come to meet with teachers on April 1, and a week later, together with the whole school, they begin to go to classes.

Studying in China begins, as we do, on September 1. And even the line they have according to all the rules is very even, "communist." True, they give flowers not on September 1, but on Teacher's Day. In China, schoolchildren go to first grade from the age of 6. From that moment on, a Chinese schoolboy takes a thorny path to knowledge. Compared to Russian schoolchildren, Chinese students study 2-3 times more, and they rest only 2 times a year - for the Chinese New Year and summer, from July 15 to September 1. But such an education system is good: Shanghai's average performance is the highest in the world.

In the United States, each administrative district sets its own start date for the school year and semester schedule. In some schools, studies begin in August, in others - 1-2 days after Labor day - a labor holiday that is celebrated on the first Monday of September. On the first day, classes are not held at the school. First-graders and their parents come to school to get acquainted with the teacher and class. Everything is very ordinary, without flowers and bows.

In the Netherlands, a child goes to school the day after turning 4. And if this time falls on vacation, then "yuf" (teacher "yuffrau") or "meister" (teacher) gives the child a tour of the school, and after the holidays he joins the same age. The first classes of the Dutch elementary school are very similar to our kindergarten: children play more, glue, sculpt, draw, only under the guidance of not a nurse, but a teacher. The first school day comes after 6 weeks of summer holidays, most often it is Monday in late August and early September. Moreover, in different regions of the country, study begins with a difference of several weeks. This helps to reduce traffic congestion a little and distribute the flow of vacationers during the holidays. The academic year begins with a general meeting and a speech by the principal. Some Dutch schools have a tradition of giving away free ice cream to all students that day.

What about South America? In Argentina, they go to study from the age of 6-7. Primary school (premaria) is preceded by a main kindergarten preparatory group (preescolar). The academic year begins, as in Russia, at the beginning of autumn, only they have it in March! In private schools, students wear uniforms with the emblem of an educational institution. But in Argentine public schools, the uniform for schoolchildren is very practical and neat white negligence worn over clothes.

Let's look at Africa. In South Africa, school begins at the age of 5.5-6. The first school day falls on the second or third Wednesday of January. There are 4 state languages in South Africa, but teaching is conducted in English and Afrikaans (a type of Flemish). The first day of study is not a holiday at all, there is no first call, flowers and parental tears. Sometimes an unusual situation causes only tears in the first graders themselves. Schoolchildren immediately sit down at their desk and begin to study from the first day. But as our compatriots in South Africa say, despite the gloomy start, children quickly get involved and go to school with pleasure.

Maybe the most unusual September 1 is in Russia, in Yamal. In order for first-graders in the Yamalo-Nenets District to be able, like all Russian children, to go to school, first school teachers must find them. Children of reindeer herders roam along the endless tundra with their parents. The locations of the reindeer family can be difficult to establish because the family lives where a herd of deer took her. In search of fresh grass, deer move from pasture to pasture, and reindeer herders collect their plague every two weeks and go to a new place. Little nomads are sought and taken to a boarding school by helicopter. They will return to the family only on vacation, and again by helicopter.
