According to a summary moved by the Chief Minister House, the Elementary and Secondary Education Department has been asked to extend the summer vacation till 31st August in all government and public sector schools.
“ This is subject to the condition that the extended summer vacation will be subsequently adjusted so that the academic calendar for the current academic session is not disturbed, if necessary, through undertaking extra classes after reopening,” it said. However, it has been clarified that summer vacation extension will be implemented for students up to class-10. Moreover, offices in government schools will also remain open during the same period of time, it stated.
