Kolkata Even though the summer vacation for schools will begin soon, teachers will hold extra classes to ensure that students’ studies are not disrupted. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had previously announced that due to the intense heat, summer vacation would begin early this year. The Education Department has announced that the summer break for all government primary and upper-primary schools in the state will begin from April 30.
However, schools in the hilly areas of Darjeeling and Kalimpong districts will be exempt from this break. There, classes will continue as per a specific schedule. The Education Department has clearly mentioned in its announcement that extra classes will be conducted for the benefit of the students. All teachers and non-teaching staff have been directed to take the necessary steps to ensure the extra classes are held.
Despite the summer vacation, teachers will continue to work during the break. Extra classes will be held once schools reopen. The directive mentions that the summer vacation will continue from April 30 until the next announcement.
As the heat intensifies in early April, the temperature has been rising day by day. To shield students from the extreme heat, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had announced the summer break starting from April 30. She stated, “The heat is unbearable. Therefore, there will be a summer break for primary and secondary schools.” Additionally, the Mahavir Jayanti will be observed on April 10, and the first Vaisakha holiday will be on April 14 and 15. There will also be several Sundays. The break from April 30 will last for 12 to 13 days. Previously, the break was in May, but this time the heat is more intense. Therefore, the decision was made to begin the break earlier. Educators informed that the break will begin on April 30, and once the schools reopen, extra classes will be conducted by teachers. However, it is still unclear how the Education Department will manage this.
