As this is the open and dry season at present, it is necessary to exercise caution to prevent fire hazards.

In the coming February, the completion assessment examinations for basic education at the primary level (Grade 5), the completion assessment examinations at the middle school level (Grade 9), and end-of-year school-based examinations for the remaining basic education grades will be held.
