In the revised order issued by the Education Department, it is stated that primary schools and middle schools must have at least 200 working days and 220 working days, respectively. However, due to elections, examinations, festivals, and natural disasters, school studies are disrupted. Aside from this, there is no uniformity in the process of closing schools on the occasion of festivals; schools are open in some districts during some festivals and closed in others; this change will be implemented in the remaining days of 2023 to ensure uniformity in school operation has been carried out.
