South Gujarat Schools to Hold Classes on Public Holidays to Make Up Lost Days
Following heavy rainfall and resulting holidays in six South Gujarat districts, District Education Officers have directed schools to compensate for lost instructional days by operating on two upcoming public holidays. This measure aims to fulfill the mandatory 120 working days in the semester, which began just over a month ago. The decision, made in consultation with District Collectors, allows schools to choose which public holidays to hold classes, ensuring students cover the pending syllabus despite recent disruptions.
