In other words, either MOE didn't fight to protect teachers' day on 1 Sep, or other ministries'/PMO's/ELD's priorities overrode MOE.
Given that a lot of ELD's manpower is from MOE and schools are likely to be polling centres, I won't be surprised if the calculation was: since teachers have to be around for the 31 Aug school-based teachers' day celebration, and its a half day event, the teachers are available for the other half to set up the schools as polling stations.

overheard two SLs today...
"eh the celebration on 1st sep also dunno how leh. if they need to take over the hall earlier to set up the station, how to celebrate?"
"aiya then celebration change to parade square lor"
"huh cannot la! how to celebrate there??"
anyway, fight or no fight, observations will already show which ministry is bigger or more important...look at reservist/enlistment... elections... covid restrictions...
people can argue how much more important other things are compared to education or educational institutes and vice versa... and these are the facts portrayed by the gov already lol. they'll tell u to either accept or resign lor
