All schools run by the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration will have their new semester postponed to November 15, the BMA announced Sunday.
The BMA said in a statement that extra classes will be provided on weekends to compensate for the extra holidays.
The BMA-run schools were initially scheduled to start the new semester on November 1.
On Friday, BMA Governor Sukhumbhand Paribatra announced that 116 BMA-schools in nine districts, which are at risk of being flooded, would start the new semester on November 15 but other schools would start the new term on November 1.
But the BMA announced Sunday that all of its schools in all districts would start the new term 15 days late than the normal schedule.
