Extend year-end school holidays so that teachers are better prepared, says Maszlee

KUALA LUMPUR: Extend the end of the year school holidays by at least another week to allow more preparation for teachers to resume their duties, says former education minister Dr Maszlee Malik.

He said that while the end-of-the-year break is normally for three weeks, it was a common practice to recall teachers a week earlier to prepare for students’ return to schools.
