THE MOUNTAIN View College in Bukidnon has approved a six-day academic break for its students and teachers.

For college and grade school students, the academic break will be from October 26 to 31, while for high school students, it will be from November 2 to 7,  MVC Media Coordinator Arwenn Berago told The POST.

“There will be NO classes nor any academic activities during this break,” the school said.

Berago said that the school decided to give its students and teachers a breather for their mental health and to give them time to relax during these trying times.

The MVC was not the first to declare an academic break. Other schools and universities had also given their students and personnel a brief respite from academic work.
