Schools across the country proceed for mid-term break this week putting to question the safety of students amid ongoing demonstrations over the controversial Finance Bill.

Originally scheduled for June 20 to June 24, the break was moved to June 26 to 28, according to a revised school calendar following the heavy floods experienced in April and May.
