Rescheduling of 3rd Quarterly Assessment in light of Eid'l Fitr

Rescheduling of 3rd Quarterly Assessment in light of Eid'l Fitr

In light of the recent celebration of Eid al-Fitr, the scheduled quarterly assessment that was supposed to be held on April 20-21, wherein the second day, Friday has been declared a holiday, will be rescheduled.

Eid al-Fitr, also known as the "Festival of Breaking the Fast," is a religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide. It marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting. The celebrations typically last for three days and involve feasting, socializing, giving gifts, and participating in prayer services. It is a time of forgiveness, reflection, and generosity for Muslims as they express gratitude to Allah for the blessings received during Ramadan.

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. proclaimed April 21, 2023, as a regular holiday throughout the country to bring the religious and cultural significance of the Eid'l Fitr to the fore of national consciousness, and to allow the entire Filipino nation to join their Muslim brothers and sisters in peace and harmony in the observance and celebration of Eid'l Fitr.

The Department of Education (DepEd) schools shall reschedule the exam to ensure that all students have ample time to prepare and perform their best.

In the meantime, students are advised to utilize this extra time to revise and prepare thoroughly for the exam. Teachers shall provide additional study materials and support to their students, to ensure they are well-prepared for the rescheduled exam.
