Proposal to move start of classes to September revived again

It’s time once again for the annual tradition of proposing to move the start of the school year to September.

This year, the proposal comes from Cavite Representative Lani Mercado-Revilla. She and Senator Franklin Drilon also proposed the same thing last year.

Revilla says September would be a better month to start the school year in to avoid the class cancellations that rains in June often bring. If the bill is passed into law, the acadmic year for all levels will be from September to May, Abante reports.
