KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 10 — The Cabinet has agreed to set August 16 and 17 as replacement school holidays in conjunction with Hari Raya Aidilfitri, which is expected to fall on August 19.
The decision was made at Wednesday’s Cabinet meeting, according to a statement issued by the Education Ministry today.
“All parties will therefore have sufficient time to plan for their trip home and avoid traffic congestion,” it said.
It also said the ministry will let schools apply for the replacement holidays through their respective registrars.
The ministry has proposed that for co-ordination purposes, schools choose September 8 and September 22, both of which fall on a Saturday to replace August 16 and 17 for the classes.
“But the classes must be the normal full session,” it stressed. — Bernama
