THE Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU) and the University of the Philippines on Thursday announced that their academic year will soon begin in August and end in May to align it with the calendars of their overseas partners.

In a statement, ADMU said its board of trustees approved the shift in a meeting on February 5, 2014. The new schedule will take effect in the school year 2015-2016. But the shift does not apply to the Ateneo Grade School and High School academic schedules.
