School Year
A school year is the defined annual period during which educational institutions conduct formal classes and assessments, typically running from late summer or fall to spring or early summer. It provides structure for learning milestones, holidays, and extracurricular activities, varying widely by country to align with cultural, climatic, or economic factors like harvest seasons.
