GCE N-Level examinations scheduled for Sep 11 will also see a change of dates, the Ministry of Education and the Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board said in a joint media release on Friday .
"To recognise the contributions and dedication of our teachers, MOE typically celebrates Teachers' Day on the last Friday of Term 3 before the one-week September school holiday," MOE and SEAB said. "As Polling Day for Presidential Election 2023 will fall on Friday, Sep 1, 2023 if there is a contest, MOE will move this year's Teachers' Day holiday to Monday, Sep 11, 2023, the first Monday after the one-week September school holidays.
"This is to provide certainty for schools and students in making their plans. Monday, Sep 11, 2023, will now be designated a school holiday."
