Maldives academic year has officially commenced on Sunday January 14 after a lengthy 2 month school holiday period.
Academic year of 2018 started with more than 75,000 students packing their bags to schools, while they were welcomed by their respective schools in grandeur fashion.
Unlike most of the years past, this year has been regarded as significant due to the technological advancements the Maldives Education Ministry has been planning to introduce to the education sector.
