THE MINDANAO State University – General Santos will implement a week-long academic break to give its students a breather amid the implementation of distance learning.

The break will be on November 24 to 30, 2021.

“This will also allow the students to rest and regain their energy to catch up with the lessons for the rest of the semester,” the university said.

The university said that the proposal to hold a break came from the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs.

Students welcomed the announcement, noting that they need their “much-needed’”break.

Faculty members were directed not to hold classes on the said dates and refrain from giving out assignments.
