In accordance with EDR 132 (2), the Academic Calendar now features four (4) Teaching Cycles. In light of unusual circumstances brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic, this provision allows for meaningful student engagement and learning recovery during the first Teaching Cycle. Schools are encouraged to use this format for the 2021-2022 School Year. Alternatively, traditional divisions (terms or semesters) in the School Year may be utilized, providing there is adherence to the School Vacation periods outlined in the Academic Calendar.
