Schools reopen for second term

Schools reopened for the second term of the academic year 2022-2023 on Sunday.

Some 92,000 students are studying across 217 schools in Maldives.

The academic new year previously began in January. It marks the first time for the academic new year to begin mid-year.

However, the decision to change the beginning of the academic new year to mid-year has been criticized by some, who complain of the bad weather that prevails during the year-end holiday.
