Delhi Schools Announce Extended Summer Vacation Amid Rising Temperatures | Representative image
The government has released the summer vacation schedule, just as the heat wave that is expected to hit Delhi in April has begun. The Delhi School Calendar 2024 states that the summer break will take place from May 11 to June 30, 2024.
Because of the rising temperatures, summer vacations give students the opportunity to take a break from school. In Delhi, the academic year will continue with May and June off.
Delhi students will have a month-long break this year, along with nineteen days of summer vacation. The primary goal of this is to combat the rising temperatures. During this break, projects and assignments will also be given to the students. In 2024, Delhi schools are expected to stay open for 220 days. All schools have been instructed by the Delhi Directorate of Education (DOE) to make sure that instruction is carried out for the full 220 days, and that vacations are scheduled appropriately.
The official holiday schedule for the months of April through December has also been released by the Delhi government. During these days, schools will be officially closed.
