The Basic Education Act, 2013, outlaws holiday tuition of any kind. It is for this reason that a school must have a time table, which is followed by all teachers. Under modern formal education, school holidays underscore the need for students (and teachers) to maintain a sensible balance between work, rest and recreation. Students have legitimate interests outside education, interests which are connected with their emotional and physical, personality and spiritual growth. Continuous teaching and learning beyond the official schools hours and term dates has no sound educational value.
