Winter Vacation 2024 Kashmir Schools, DSEK submitted proposal
Winter Vacation 2024: The School Education Department in Kashmir is expected to announce winter vacations in phases, beginning on December 9, 2024, according to official sources. This phased schedule aims to ensure that the needs of students across different classes are managed effectively, keeping in mind the harsh winter conditions in the region.
The Directorate of School Education Kashmir (DSEK) has already submitted a proposal to the government seeking approval for the vacation schedule. The proposed plan outlines specific dates for different class levels as follows:
The tentative vacation schedule is as follows:
| Class Level | Vacation Start Date | Vacation End Date |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 2nd Primary | December 09, 2024 | February 28, 2025 |
| 3rd Primary to 12th Class | December 16, 2024 | February 28, 2025 |
Under this plan, students in primary classes (up to Grade 2) will begin their winter break on December 9, 2024, while students from Grade 3 to Grade 12 will start their vacation a week later, on December 16, 2024. This staggered schedule allows the schools to manage the transition smoothly while addressing the varying needs of younger and older students.
The region has been experiencing increasingly cold weather over the past few weeks, making the announcement of winter vacations a timely and necessary step. Severe winters are typical in Kashmir, and extended breaks help students cope with the extreme weather.
However, it’s important to note that the government has not yet given formal approval to the proposal. Once approved, the vacation schedule will be officially communicated to schools and students across the valley. This planned break will not only provide students with relief from the cold but also offer them time to prepare for their upcoming academic activities once schools reopen in late February.
