Schools across the country have been allowed by the department of education to take two days off at the end of April.

This is part of the Easter holidays.

Department spokesperson Granville Whittle said schools that opted for the extra time off were required to provide the department with a plan of how they were going to make up the days lost.

The Western Cape schools opened schools in January two days later, which means the schools in the province will close two days earlier.
