The Ministry has commenced the distribution of essential textbooks for the 2026 academic year to students across the islands in the atolls.
To ensure that all students are fully equipped with the required textbooks ahead of the new academic year, the work is being carried out in close coordination with schools, with preparations progressing well in advance.
The goal is to complete the distribution of all textbooks to students before the official reopening of schools.
The current academic year is scheduled to conclude, with the long holiday beginning on 25th December 2025. Following the conclusion of this holiday, the 2026 academic year is set to commence on 27th January 2026.
