School is over from Friday, 20 December through Tuesday, 7 January 2014 in most public and private schools nationwide. The Minister of Education Carlos Amarante Baret said that most schools had finished their final exams for this semester, and he called on parents to be watchful of the students and to encourage them to review their subjects and do the homework that they have been assigned. This Christmas and New Year’s holiday season falls in mid-week, which means that the Three King’s Day, 6 January, will be included in the children’s holiday season.
