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.
Based on the Ministry of Education (MOE) 2025 calendar, we have put together all the key dates parents need to know in this post.
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.
