Students will now begin classes on March 30, 2026, instead of the previously scheduled March 23. SPEA also announced that students may take examinations remotely between March 9 and March 12.
The decision was taken after schools submitted requests through the Council of School Principals, citing current regional circumstances and operational concerns.
Authorities have also issued guidelines for staff and parents regarding school visits during this period, ensuring continuity of education while addressing safety and logistical challenges faced by schools and families.
