The Ministry of Education has announced that the school calendar for the year that starts 17 August nationwide has 197 days of class worked into 41 weeks of teaching, and an estimated 1,025 hours for public school. This is 17 fewer days compared to last year when there were 213 school days.
The Ministry of Education says the 2009-2010 school year launches the "Thousand hours of quality teaching" project at public school. This is an attempt to get public schools to complete the full schedule of 25 hours per week in grade schools and 1,200 hours of schooling in high schools.
First term examinations will again be held in December this year. The idea of the measure is to allow schoolchildren to enjoy the Christmas holidays and come back fresher for the next term.
Final year tests will be 22-25 June for grade school students, and those in adult education. Tests for high school will be 29 June to 2 July 2010.
