The Ministry of Education has instructed schools to shorten the sessions to two to three hours on the first three days of school, citing adverse weather conditions across the country.
In a circular sent by the Ministry to schools, they announced steps that are to be taken in response to the adverse weather conditions with heavy rains, strong winds and rough seas, which are obstructing travel.
Hence, from next Sunday to Tuesday, sessions are to be shortened to be between two to three hours long.
The Ministry further said that on these three days, schools must conduct activities to promote mutual respect between students, promote students' wellbeing and protection, and to conduct programs against bullying within the sessions.
Many families have travelled within Maldives and abroad during the school holidays. However, in the middle of the holidays, Maldives entered into a period of rough weather across the country, resulting in preventing many from travelling back to their home islands ahead of the start of school.
