how many weeks in a school year

A typical school year has about 38 to 39 weeks of term time, with around 190 to 195 school days. This is based on the UK school system, which divides the year into three terms with breaks in between. In the US, school years average about 36 weeks of instruction, usually consisting of 180 school days. The exact number of weeks can vary somewhat depending on the country, state, or school district policy.
