Today in Surat, 400 Private schools cancelled Navratri vacations and changed school timings for the sake of students during Navratri Festival.
Navratri Festival is starting from 10th October this year.
School owners of private schools decided to change the school timings instead of observing vacations during Navratri, as declared by Gujarat government.
Private school owners feel that since the schedule of academic activities are planned for entire year, if they observe Navratri vacation they face difficulty. Instead they have decided to start school late by 2 hours, at 9 am instead of 7 am for the convenience of students in Navratri.
Owners will present their opinion to School Board and DEO District Education Officer soon.
