The Telangana Education Department has announced that starting from March 15, schools will operate for half a day due to the increasing heat of the sun. The new schedule will be from 8 am to 12:30 pm for all schools, including government, private, and aided institutions.
However, schools conducting class 10 examinations will have classes from 1 pm to 5 pm until the exams are completed. After the exams, these schools will go back to the regular morning schedule.
This decision aims to prioritize the safety and well-being of students and staff during the hot weather. By implementing half-day classes, authorities are taking proactive steps to minimize the impact of rising temperatures on educational activities.
