Speaking with Al-Ahram's Arabic news website, health ministry spokesman Ahmed Helmi said that the education ministry was revaluating the situation and that it would err on the side of caution, preferring to prolong the break out of concern for students' safety.

The mid-year break has already been prolonged once by the education ministry, following clashes in late January between security forces and supporters of ousted president Mohamed Morsi.
