I have just had a message from my Director that there will be no college tomorrow. I have friends who teach in different Universities in the Kingdom and they have been told tomorrow is a holiday.

As per the government announcement the public sector workers and students will be given the day off. Some schools will be closed for up too a week.

Are the rest of us teaching in KSA off tomorrow?

Enjoy an extended weekend Very Happy

JEDDAH--The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman announced a closure of government offices and educational institutions on Sunday to allow people to mourn the death of the late King Abdullah, who died on Friday at the age of 90.

The director of the Education Department in Jeddah, Abdullah Al-Thaqafi, told Arab News the vacation will be for one day only and the second semester will begin on Monday in accordance with the royal statement. The one day closure is for all government and expat schools, colleges and universities in the Kingdom.

I learned this when I found a note on my door at 7:05 am while exiting my apartment. A little bittersweet because I would have rather slept later.
