Govt Makes Impromptu Change on Half Term Dates Over Gen Z Protests

Primary and High School students are allowed to break for half term beginning today as Finance Bill protestors gear to hit the streets tomorrow.

This is an impromptu change to the school calendar. Earlier, the second term’s half term break was scheduled to begin on Wednesday, June 26.

In a memo to school principals, the Ministry of Education explained that early departure is designed to give students and parents ample time to make travel plans ahead of the planned Finance Bill protests planned for Tuesday.

Some of the school principals, as a result, sent messages to parents notifying them to pick the students beginning today failure to which, they will only be able to pick students on Wednesday.
