With the Gramin Bharat Bandh looming on February 16th, 2024, parents across India are scrambling for answers: will schools be closed? Unfortunately, there is more to the answer than a yes or no.
Here’s what we know so far:
- No official announcement: As of today, February 15th, no state government or education board has declared blanket closures for schools on Friday.
- Exams a major factor: Boards like CBSE and ICSE are currently conducting their annual examinations, making widespread closures unlikely. CBSE even advised students to plan travel considering potential disruptions.
- Local variations possible: Some states might announce closures closer to the date, especially in areas with anticipated high protest activity.
So, what should you do?
- Stay informed: Keep an eye on official announcements from your state government, education board, and school. Many schools update their websites and social media pages regularly.
