Kashmir Schools Reopen for Classes 9-12 After Winter Break; Lower Classes to Resume March 2

Schools in Kashmir reopened on Monday for students of classes 9 to 12 after over two months of winter vacations, as per the government schedule announced in November. Classes for pre-primary to 8 will resume on March 2. This phased reopening follows a winter break from late November or early December to late February, a routine measure due to harsh winter conditions. The region experienced unusually high February temperatures and low snowfall this year, with students expressing relief at returning to school.
