School holidays 2023 Source: - MINISTRY OF EDUCATION, MALAYSIA
Listed below are the school
terms and holidays for the year 2023, as announced by the Ministry of
Education and published in the Government gazette.
Certain holidays are national holidays and are observed by the entire country while others apply
only to certain states. Similarly, weekends and school holidays also tend to be different especially in those of the conservatively Muslim states of
Kelantan,
Terengganu,
Kedah and
Perlis as compared with the other states of Malaysia.
Another factor is that while some holidays have fixed dates, there are others that vary each year and
are not fixed. These dates vary as to their religious or cultural background and by which of the Muslim, Indian or
Chinese calendars is being used. Have a look at the
Chinese zodiac signs (Year of the Rabbit).
These dates are preliminary and are subject to change
