SRINAGAR — The Directorate of School Education Kashmir (DSEK) on Tuesday announced a revised school timing schedule to mitigate the effects of the ongoing heatwave in the Valley.
Starting Tuesday, July 23, and continuing until August 10, all government and private schools in Kashmir up to the higher secondary level will function from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm. Teaching and non-teaching staff will report for duty from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm.
The order from DSEK comes amid numerous appeals from parents and other stakeholders expressing concerns about the impact of the extreme heatwave on students.
Pertinently, weather forecasts indicate that the region will continue to experience high temperatures in the coming days.
