The Ministry of Education has allowed boarding schools to release their students for a term break beginning Monday, June 24.
This is an impromptu change to the school calendar.
Earlier, the second term’s half-term break was scheduled to begin on Wednesday, June 26.
In a memo to school principals, the Ministry of Education explained that early departure is designed to give students and parents ample time to make travel plans ahead of the planned Finance Bill protests planned for Tuesday.
