Be informed – MOE School Holidays 2025!

Whether you are a parent with a child entering Primary 1 or taking the national examination in the upcoming year, knowing key dates (MOE School Holidays 2025), public holidays and long weekends will help you know what to expect in 2025.

In fact, did you know that dates related to the PSLE can affect your child even if they are not the ones taking the examination? They will not need to report to school on quite a few of the examination days which means childcare arrangements might need to be made.

With this, parents can be prepared and also ensure a balance between learning and leisure throughout the year by planning ahead for their child’s academic programmes, such as workshops or enrichment activities.
