The Ministry of Education (MOE) has announced that the school year for 2024 for all primary and secondary schools will commence on Tuesday, January 2.

Parents should note that the last day of school for most MOE kindergartens, primary, and secondary school students will be November 15. Meanwhile, schools used as venues for O-level written examinations will end the year earlier, on October 25.
