New school term for 2010
PETALING JAYA: Students will go back to school on Jan 4 in all states next year except for those in Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu, where classes start a day earlier (see chart).
Education director-general Tan Sri Alimuddin Mohd Dom said there would be 210 school days next year.
This is an increase of two more school days compared with this year’s 208 days.
“Schools can apply for four days of cuti peristiwa (occasional holiday) which need not be replaced,” he said.
Alimuddin said students would have 78 days of holiday next year, which is one day more than this year.
He said the year-end break would start on Nov 19 next year for all schools, except for those in Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu which start a day earlier.
