Heatwave forces Kashmir schools to shut for two weeks from July 6, classes to resume on this date

Amid soaring temperatures across the Kashmir Valley, the Directorate of School Education Kashmir (DSEK) has announced a two-week summer vacation for all government and recognised private schools up to the higher secondary level. The schools will remain closed from July 6 to July 19, with academic activities scheduled to resume on July 20. The decision comes after an intense spell of heat swept across the Valley over the past several days, pushing widespread demands from parents and students for an early summer break. Authorities said the move has been taken keeping in mind the well-being and safety of schoolchildren as unusually high temperatures continue to affect daily life in the region.
