In view of the scorching heat and heat wave situation in Bihar, the Education Department has taken a major decision, under which the period of special summer timetable applicable in government schools has been extended from 31st May to 30th June. After the summer vacation from June 1 to June 20, the schools were scheduled to open from Monday (June 22) at their normal time i.e. from 9:30 am to 4 pm, but late last Sunday evening, keeping in mind the severity of the weather and the health of the children, the department changed this order and increased the school hours from 6:30 to 12:30 pm.
In this regard, the Education Department (Secondary Education Office) has issued a new official office order on Monday (June 22). According to this new letter, due to the extreme heat in the state, the earlier orders have been partially amended. Till June 30, all primary, secondary and higher secondary schools across the state will operate under a special timetable from 06:30 am to 12:30 noon.
