The advisory by the Education Department to begin the school calendar in April instead of June is unjustified as we all know that April/May are peak summer months with temperatures rising to 34/35° C. The authorities should have applied their minds before coming to such a draconian decision putting the health of students into jeopardy. In the Middle East, school holidays are from July to August, as these two months are at the peak of summer where temps rise to 40/43°C and the Education departments have the wellbeing of their students in their hearts and mind. Even now it is not too late to revert back to the old school calendar. Is anybody listening?
