In most places, January 27, 2026 is a normal school day, but it depends on your specific country, state, and even individual school or district.

Key points

  • January 27, 2026 is not a national public holiday in major countries like India or South Africa, so schools are generally scheduled to be open.
  • Some regions have made special decisions:
    • Certain Indian states (for example, Assam and Punjab) have declared January 27, 2026 a school holiday for local observances or to extend Republic Day-related events.
* Individual schools in other countries have announced closures on that date due to local reasons such as winter weather, with make‑up days to be decided later.
  • Public school calendars for 2026 usually show late January as a regular teaching period, with terms running straight through that week.

What you should do

  1. Check your local public school calendar for the 2025–2026 year (often on your education department or school website).
  2. Look at recent news or alerts from your specific school or district (they may post closure notices the day before).
  3. If nothing special is announced, you should assume there is school on January 27, 2026.

For an exact answer, only your own school’s official calendar or announcements can confirm whether you personally have school that day.
