Wikipedia to the rescue. Summer vacation lasts from 2 to 3 months with few exceptions in Europe, just like in the US.

I can tell you from personal experience. Summer vacation has nothing to do with it. In Romania we have 3 months now and it was 3 months 20 years ago. The percentage of kids that know stuff that comes out of High Schools today is much smaller than it was then. YAY for western style education.


I can't speak for the rest of Europe, but here in the U.K, I got between 1 and 1.5 months summer holidays.  For example, this year my old sixth form college were off from the 20/07 and are starting again on the 03/09.

 

But now I'm at university and have been off since my last exam on the 25/05 (I'm starting on 24/09)
