PETALING JAYA: The academic calendar for educational institutions in Johor will shift next year in line with Johor Regent Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim's decree that starting Jan 1, the state will revert to a Saturday-Sunday weekend.
The Education Ministry said this would mean Johor will be grouped together with Kuala Lumpur, Labuan, Putrajaya, Melaka, Negri Sembilan, Pahang, Perlis, Pulau Pinang, Perak, Sabah, Sarawak and Selangor (Group B states), which follow the Saturday-Sunday weekend.
