President Marcos Jr. gives the green light for schools to transition back to the old academic calendar, ending SY 2024-2025 on April 15! 📚 #OldSchoolCalendar #Education

President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. has recently given his approval to gradually revert to the old school calendar, bringing back a sense of nostalgia to the education system. The move entails ending the School Year 2024-2025 on April 15, marking a significant shift from the traditional schedule. This decision aims to align with the previous June to March academic year, enabling a smoother transition for students and educators.

In response to public demand, President Marcos Jr. has initiated the process of returning to the old school calendar starting with the next academic year's classes commencing on July 29. This strategic move is seen as a step towards restoring familiar timelines in the education sector and addressing concerns raised by various stakeholders. The shift is anticipated to bring a sense of stability and consistency to the academic planning and scheduling.

Furthermore, the historical decision by President Marcos Jr. to bring back the old school calendar highlights a blend of tradition and modernity in the educational landscape. By revisiting established academic timelines, the government aims to honor the heritage of the education system while adapting to the evolving needs of the present times. This bold move signifies a harmonious fusion of the past and the future in shaping the educational journey of the youth.

As the transition to the old school calendar progresses, the anticipation and excitement among students, parents, and educators continue to grow. The return to the familiar June to March academic year sparks a wave of reminiscence and optimism for a more structured and organized school schedule. With this shift, the education sector embarks on a journey that embraces tradition while embracing progress, paving the way for a balanced and enriched learning experience for generations to come.

In a heartwarming gesture, a 90-year-old school bus driver, Mr. Robert Dillard, bids farewell after 50 years of dedicated service, leaving a legacy of commitment and compassion in the education system. Additionally, the article sheds light on the best old-school restaurants in St. Pete, adding a touch of culinary nostalgia to the theme of embracing the old-school charm.
