The 2021/2022 school session will be postponed by a week.

Education Minister Datuk Dr Radzi Jidin said the third term will now start on Jan 9, 2022, for schools in Group A and Jan 10, 2022, for schools in Group B.

The term was initially scheduled to begin from Jan 2 onwards.

He said this is due to the floods that have affected teachers, students and parents, directly or indirectly, as well as schools that are either affected by the floods or used as relief centres for victims.

“More information on this will be issued through a statement soon. We are concerned about the welfare of students, parents and teachers in the current situation," said Radzi.

“It is a tough time for everyone and we understand that they need time to prepare their needs before starting the third term of the 2021/2022 school session,” he added in a video posted on his Facebook on Friday (Dec 24).
