The Education Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin today announced the postponement of the start of the 2015 school session for the whole country by one week because of the floods in several states. Some schools have been flooded or are being used as evacuation centres. As of last night, the Education Ministry found that 340 schools from seven states are affected by the floods. With the postponement, schools in Kedah, Kelantan, Terengganu and Johor will now reopen on January 11 instead of January 4 and those in the other states will reopen on Jan 12 instead of January 5.
The postponement of the start of the 2015 school session by a week due to the floods does not require schools to replace these school days, said Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.
"There is no necessity to replace those days as the schooling period is sufficient. It is not a case of providing additional school holidays. We had to postpone the session due to a specific problem," he said.
He said the postponement was also to allow teachers, parents and students who were affected by floods to recover and prepare for school.
State news agency Bernama reported the flood situation in Kelantan remained critical with the number of evacuees rising to 134,139 at the relief centres last night against the 124,966 yesterday afternoon.
