Parents prefer going back to January school year

PETALING JAYA: Some parents are in favour of the academic year reverting to January instead of the current arrangement that starts in March as it would be more convenient for them to plan and keep track of their children’s education.

Chartered accountant Christine Koh, 39, from Melaka, said the current arrangement could disrupt the plans that parents have for their families, which include school preparations and year-end family trips.
