Schools in Telangana which were earlier supposed to reopen on June 1 will now begin the new academic year from June 11 due to the heat wave conditions across the state. The date was postponed and a decision to this effect was taken by the Telangana State Recognized School Managements Association (TSRMA) on Wednesday. The General Secretary of TSRMA has submitted a report to state education minister Kadiyam Srihari. However, all the 13,000 private state-run schools in the state will adhere to this circular.
Earlier, the Telangana school education department had decided to open the schools on June 1 so as to involve the students in the celebrations of Telangana formation day on June 2. It was also learnt that the schools were also instructed to conduct half day classes from June 4 to June 8 i.e from 7 am- 11 am due to the intense heat wave conditions in the state.
As the date of school reopen was postponed, the
school management has decided to compensate the loss by conducting classes on
second Saturdays. They have also decided to reduce the number of holidays
during Dasara and Sankranti.
