The Andhra Pradesh government has officially announced Sankranti holidays for schools across the state. The Education Department confirmed that schools will remain closed for nine consecutive days, starting from January 10 to January 18.
These holidays will apply to all government, private, and aided schools in Andhra Pradesh. The decision aims to allow students and teachers to celebrate the Sankranti festival with their families.
Schools to Reopen on January 19
According to Education Department officials, schools will reopen on Monday, January 19. Regular classes will resume from that day without any changes to school timings.
Authorities also clarified that the holiday schedule will not affect the academic calendar. Likewise, there will be no changes to examination dates or internal assessments already announced for the academic year.
No Change in Academic Schedule
Officials stated that the Sankranti holidays follow the standard annual schedule. As a result, syllabus completion plans and exam preparations will continue as planned after reopening.
Moreover, schools have been instructed to ensure smooth resumption of classes. Teachers will focus on maintaining academic continuity once students return from the festive break.
Relief for Students and Parents
The nine-day holiday period brings relief to students, parents, and teachers alike. Sankranti is one of the most important festivals in Andhra Pradesh. Many families travel to their native places during this time.
Therefore, the extended break allows students to participate fully in traditional celebrations. It also gives families enough time to return before schools reopen.
Applies to All Schools Across AP
The Education Department clearly stated that the holidays apply uniformly across the state. Government, private, and aided institutions must follow the same schedule.
Parents are advised to note the dates carefully and plan travel accordingly. Schools will issue internal circulars to remind students about the reopening date.
Overall, the announcement ensures clarity and consistency for schools statewide. With no disruption to academics, students can enjoy the festival while staying on track with their studies.
