Hyderabad : In anticipation of the festive season, educational institutions across Telangana are gearing up for a prolonged 13-day Dasara holiday, marking the first short-term break of the ongoing academic year.
As per the official academic calendar for the year 2023-24, released by the School Education Department in June, schools throughout Telangana will remain closed from October 13 to 25.
In preparation for the forthcoming Dasara holidays, Telangana schools have scheduled summative assessment-1 from October 5 to 11, ensuring a smooth transition into the vacation period.
But that’s not the only good news for students in Telangana. They can also look forward to two more breaks in the current academic year. Firstly, from December 22 to 26, there will be a Christmas vacation, exclusive to missionary schools in the state. Following that, there will be a Sankranti vacation, applicable to all schools except missionary ones, lasting for six days.
It’s not just the students who will enjoy some respite; the Telangana government has declared that others will also observe the Dasara holiday on October 24. Furthermore, the Telangana Calendar designates October 14 as a Bathukamma starting day holiday. Both of these holidays are categorized as ‘General holidays’.
For those seeking extra time off, two ‘optional holidays’ on October 22 and 23 have been designated for Durgashtami and Maharnavami, respectively.
