DSEK Announces Revised School Timings for Kashmir Division | Check Now
Srinagar, August 10 (KNO): In a significant development aimed at providing relief to students and staff during the prevailing weather conditions, the Directorate of School Education Kashmir (DSEK) has announced a change in school timings for the entire Kashmir division. The new timings will come into effect from August 12, 2024.
To accommodate the needs of students and staff in different regions, the DSEK has divided the Kashmir division into two zones:
Srinagar Municipal Limits
Schools located within the Srinagar Municipal limits will operate from 9 AM to 3 PM. This revised timing is expected to provide respite from the increasing temperatures in the urban areas.
Outside Srinagar Municipal Limits
For educational institutions situated outside the Srinagar Municipal limits, including those in other districts of Kashmir, the new school hours will be from 10 AM to 4 PM. This adjustment is likely to be beneficial for students and staff in areas with relatively cooler climates.
The decision to modify school timings has been taken after careful consideration of various factors, including weather conditions, student welfare, and operational efficiency. The DSEK believes that these revised timings will create a more conducive learning environment for students while ensuring the well-being of the entire school community.
All government and recognized private schools in the Kashmir division are mandated to adhere to the new timings without fail. The DSEK has emphasized the importance of strict compliance with the order and has warned of appropriate action against institutions that do not follow the prescribed schedule.
Key Points:
- Revised school timings in Kashmir from August 12, 2024.
- Different timings for schools within and outside Srinagar Municipal limits.
- Aim to provide relief from rising temperatures.
- Mandatory compliance for all government and private schools.
The DSEK has urged parents, teachers, and students to cooperate and adapt to the new schedule. It is expected that the revised timings will bring about a positive change in the overall school environment and contribute to improved learning outcomes.
