Special classes for the primary level will be held every weekday from 2.30pm to 3.30pm and on the weekends from 8.30am to 2.30pm for 12 weeks. Students at the secondary level will be given special tutorials from 3.30pm to 4.30pm every day in addition to a sevenhour class on Saturday and a fivehour class on Sunday. Schools in the other 43 districts, which will open on December 6, will also hold special classes for students to catch up.
