The Haryana government on Wednesday announced summer vacations in all schools across the state starting from April 22 till May 31, 2021. The decision came as the coronavirus cases in the state witnessed a massive surge in the last few days, announced Haryana Education Minister Kanwar Pal Gujjar.
“Teachers are constantly coming to school, along with the safety of the children, the safety of the teachers is also our responsibility, so the summer holidays were done in advance,” he tweeted.
Earlier this month, the state government had decided to close schools till April 30 for students up to Class 8, but later they were shut for all classes in the wake of a sharp rise in coronavirus cases. However, teachers had been attending schools to prepare examination results.
Haryana Board of School Education (BSEH) has already cancelled the board exam 2021 for Class 10. The Class 10 board exams were scheduled from April 22 to May 15. Now, these students will be promoted on the basis of internal assessment. BSEH has postponed Class 12 board exams earlier scheduled between April 20 and May 17.
