Malaysia School Holidays 2026 and 2027: What's Left This Year and the Full 2027 Calendar, by Group
Malaysian school holidays do not start on the same day nationwide. Under the Education Ministry's academic calendars, Group A covers only Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu, and everyone else, including Johor, is Group B. What is left of 2026 is one Deepavali day in November (Monday 9 November for Group A and Sarawak, Tuesday 10 November for the rest of Group B), then the year-end break: 4 to 31 December for Group A and 5 to 31 December for Group B. The ministry has now also published the 2027 calendar. Both groups reopen on Monday 4 January 2027, and this guide lists every 2027 break and festival allocation by group.
