Assam: Early Summer Vacation For Classes 1-12 Students Amid COVID Scare

This has been done to ensure that students do not suffer from academic loss, as schools in the state are currently shut, the School Education Department said in its order.

The Assam Government on Thursday announced that elementary, secondary, and senior secondary schools – Classes 1 to 12 – will observe summer vacation from May 15 to June 14. This has been done to ensure that students do not suffer from academic loss, as schools in the state are currently shut to curb the spread of COVID-19, the School Education Department said in its order. Usually, summer vacation in Assam schools starts on July 1 and ends on July 31. The state government on May 12 revised its COVID-19 guidelines. Educational institutions in the state will remain shut till May 18, the government said, adding that online teaching-learning can continue. “No physical classes shall be allowed for 15 days,” the Assam State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA) said in its order.
