“While the proposed calendar is mandatory for public schools and optional for private institutions, its broader implications within a shared educational ecosystem must be carefully considered,’ the CEAP said.

It noted that divergent academic calendars may create challenges in student mobility, college admissions alignment, teacher deployment, and even household planning.
