Learning Has Always Been Distinctive, Not Uniform


We are approaching the end of the school year, so most students are scrambling to prepare for the final term exams. Some students grasp concepts quickly and race ahead, while others process new information at their own pace. Each student’s journey is distinct, and there's no one-size-fits-all approach to learning. This is something that should be celebrated, not discouraged. 

In today's fast-paced world, the pressure to perform uniformly can cause the students to feel overwhelmed or even left behind. However, it’s essential to remember that learning doesn’t have a finish line. It's a continuous process, where every child will progress at their own rate, mastering skills and subjects as they go along. What matters most is the support and guidance they receive on this journey.

Some students quickly breeze through their lessons, while others take their time, ensuring they understand each concept fully before moving forward. And that’s completely okay. The most important thing is that learning continues at a steady pace and in an environment that supports the child's unique needs. The school holidays are a great opportunity for children to have a study reset, to be a bit more lax with their studies and perhaps explore new passions. Learning during holidays should improve their transition into a new school year.

That’s exactly what Eye Level Malaysia offers. We recognize that no two students are the same, and that’s why we tailor our programs to suit each child’s learning pace and ability. Whether it’s mastering English or Math, Eye Level’s structured, step-by-step approach allows students to build confidence in their skills, ensuring they fully understand each concept before moving forward. This personalized learning system encourages students to become self-directed learners, helping them thrive academically.

To make things even better, Eye Level offers an exciting Year-End Promo! For just RM40, your child can enjoy 2 trial classes and discover the Eye Level difference firsthand. Plus, you'll receive RM50 off the registration fee when you sign up. It's the perfect opportunity to give your child a head start in the new year, setting them on the right track to success.

Learning truly is distinctive and different with every child. With the right guidance, every child has the potential to achieve great things. Take advantage of Eye Level’s Discovery Class Promo today and help your child unlock their full potential!

Malaysia School Academic Calendar 2025/2026: Key Dates and Holidays

 The 2025/2026 Academic Calendar which lists down school days and school holidays for students in Malaysia is out.

You can view the calendar below. If you wish to download a copy, the pdf of the calendar can be downloaded from the Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia website:  Kalendar Akademik Sesi 2025/2026

Some notable dates or things to note:

On which day will school start in 2025?

The school year will start in February 2025 as Malaysia prepares to shift its academic year over time to start in January as it used to be previously. 16th of February for Group A schools and 17th February for Group B schools.

Johor reverts to Saturday and Sunday weekends from 1st January 2025

There are usually two calendars. One for schools in states which observe Saturday and Sunday as weekend ie Group B schools and another for schools in states which observe Friday and Saturday as weekend ie Group A schools. Since Johor will revert to Saturday and Sunday as weekend with effect from 1st January 2025, it will then follow the academic calendar for Group B.

Year end holidays and start of school in 2026

Year end holidays is from 19th or 20th December 2025 till 10th or 11th of January 2026, suggesting that school will start on 11th or 12th of January in 2026.

Festive Holidays

Chinese New Year holidays

As usual, the academic calendar has a separate section for festive holidays. The first festive holidays in 2025 is Chinese New Year. If you notice that it is missing in the festive holidays page, that is because Chinese New Year 2025 falls during the end of academic year 2024/2025 holidays. 

The first two days of Chinese New Year in 2025 which is usually a public holiday falls on 29th and 30th of January 2025. The end of academic year 2024/2025 holidays is from 17th or 18th January 2025 until 15th or 16th February 2025. You can check the dates here in the academic calendar for 2024/2025.

Hari Raya holidays

Hari Raya is a little earlier in 2025 with school holidays at the end of March and early April 2025.

With the holidays out, you can now start planning your travel schedule and leave application to spend time with the children during their school holidays as well as have a better idea of the dates involved when you start to plan for transport, activities, tuition and exams.

When is Deepavali 2024 school holidays?

 When is Deepavali in 2024? 

Deepavali 2024 will be on 31st October 2024 which is a Thursday. 
  


Parents in our Facebook group, The Malaysia Primary School Parents Group on Facebook have been asking "When is Deepavali 2024 school holidays?" Some parents saw notices from some schools on the holidays and wanted to know if their child's school will also be having the holidays as stated in the notices. 

Well, it's always good to know ahead so we can plan ahead. Plan when to apply for leave and whether to balik kampung or go on a mini vacation. 

Let's revisit the notice from the Ministry of Education on the academic calendar for 2024/2025. There is a Lampiran C which specifically states the festive holidays or cuti Perayaan as shown below.

The National public holiday for Deepavali falls on Deepavali day which is Thursday, 31st October, 2024.

For schools in Kumpulan A which observe Friday and Saturday as weekend, an extra school holiday has been allocated on Wednesday 30th October. Since Friday and Saturday is a weekend for schools in Kumpulan A, this means that the total days off for Deepavali will be from Wednesday, 30th October 2024 to Saturday, 2nd November 2024.

For Schools in Kumpulan B which observe Saturday and Sunday as weekend, two extra days of school holidays have been allocated on Wednesday, 30th October and Friday, 1st November 2024. Together with the Deepavali public holiday and weekends, this will mean that the overall Deepavali holiday will be from Wednesday, 30th October 2024 to Sunday, 3rd November 2024.

The National public holiday for Deepavali on 31st October, 2024 excludes Sarawak. However schools in Sarawak will have the day off on Thursday, 31st October 2024 followed by a day of school before the weekend on Saturday, 2nd November and Sunday, 3rd November 2024.

Hope this makes it clearer for parents to plan their schedule.
