In fact, state education minister Bhupendrasih Chudasama told TOI that
it has been decided not to give the conventional 35 days of summer
vacation at the end of the academic year 2020-21. “We have decided not
to declare 35-day long summer vacation. The summer break will most
likely be only for a week,” Chudasama said. The decision will be binding
to schools all boards.
School managements have largely welcomed the decision. “We had requested the state government to curtail the long summer break. A 35-daybreak is not needed at a time when students have largely remained at home during the Covid-19 pandemic.
