JOHOR BAHRU – The school curriculum for this year will not be affected despite the decision to revert the start of the school session to January in 2026.
Education Director-General Azman Adnan assured parents not to be worried about the reorganisation of the school session schedule.
“When we align the school session to ensure a return to the January to December school session, our curriculum is not affected. It is implemented as usual, with perhaps a slight adjustment related to the duration of school holiday periods that we may shorten,” he said at a press conference after visiting SMK Sultan Ismail today.
He explained that the total number of school days would return to the usual 190 days a year if the school session resumes its original schedule.
Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek had previously announced the new school session would commence in January starting from 2026, and as a result, adjustments to the academic calendar for the 2024/2025 session would be implemented in February 2025. – March 10, 2024
