The Himachal Pradesh education department has declared holidays for schools in Una district from June 1 to 30 due to the intense summer heat, officials announced on Tuesday.
The department stated that the summer vacation will be divided into two terms: the entire month of June and a period in August.
According to the revised schedule, all schools in Una will remain closed from June 1 to 30 and will reopen on July 1.
Classes will continue until August 2, after which schools will take a short break from August 3 to 12.
Somlal Dhiman, Deputy Director of Primary Education, mentioned that the state government had originally planned summer vacations from June 1 to 8 and then again from July 12 to August 12 for summer-closing schools.
“The temperature in Una often reaches 44-45 degrees Celsius in June. Teachers’ unions have frequently requested the government to either reschedule the holidays or adjust school timings due to the extreme heat. Therefore, this year, the education department has taken a proactive step to provide complete relief to the students during the summer season,” Dhiman said.
He added that Una district has a total of 744 government schools, comprising 474 primary schools, 84 middle schools, 45 high schools, and 141 senior secondary schools, with thousands of students attending these schools daily.
