Academic year concludes welcoming lengthy holiday

The academic year of 2017 concludes with teachers and students looking ahead at a lengthy holiday season.

Most of the schools had distributed the student report forms today while it would continue in the afternoon sessions as well.

As customary, families are seen making the most out of the vacation period. Several locals frequent foreign destinations, resorts and even domestic travels in the months of November lasting early January - the duration which sees the Maldivian academic holidays.

The upcoming year promises to be revolutionary in the academic field with government announcing to swap textbooks with tablets - transitioning into a digital education platform. Meanwhile, some of the academic institutions have carried out preliminary trial and error sessions to assess the digitization process.
