Tamil Nadu Schools To Extend Summer Vacations Till June 11

In Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, the year-end exams for students of government and private schools were held in March and April. Due to the assembly elections, the exams for all classes were held earlier and summer vacation was also granted. Previously, the new academic year used to begin on June 1. The reopening of schools has been a little delayed due to the impact of the hot summer in Tamil Nadu in recent years and summer vacation was extended. Students were wondering whether the vacation will be extended. Since the assembly election results have not been announced yet, it was expected that schools would open only after the results are announced on June 4.

The education authorities earlier announced that summer vacation in Tamil Nadu will end and schools will resume on June 6. Many parties are in favour of extending summer vacation due to intense heat in many districts of Tamil Nadu. Chief Minister Rangasamy directed the school authorities to extend the summer vacations. The Puducherry Education Department had already announced summer vacations in Puducherry till June 5. Temperatures over 40 degrees were recorded in Puducherry for the last few days even after the Agni Nakshatra heat has ended. Political parties and educationists demanded a postponement of the opening date of schools due to the intense heat.

Accordingly, Director of School Education Priyadarshini announced that the government and private schools that were scheduled to open on June 6, will now open on June 12. Students are happy that the date of the opening of schools has been postponed.

The education department of Kolkata has said that the reopening of government and government-aided schools after the summer break will take place on June 3, subject to the directions of the concerned elective authorities. The schools will reopen once it is ensured that suitable infrastructure is in place, with due support from the district administrations and Commissioner of Kolkata Municipal Corporation, where appropriate.
