School holidays February 2024: Winter vacations have ended, bringing with them the anticipation of upcoming board exams. Although certain states had extended winter vacation in schools due to persisting cold-wave in various regions across the country, a majority of schools have resumed their classes in physical mode.
February is a significant month filled with academic activities, particularly the pre-board exams.
These exams serve as practice sessions for the crucial board exams scheduled for the months of February through April 2024. During this time, schools often adopt half-day schedules or breaks to allow students to concentrate, and coaching centers and tutors experience a surge in demand for their services.
The latter part of the month brings the announcement of results, creating a mix of nervous anticipation and relief, ultimately paving the way for extended breaks and, in some regions, the commencement of a new academic year.
February coincides with Saraswati Puja, a celebration honouring the goddess of knowledge. Schools frequently mark this occasion with quizzes, debates, and other activities, which add a festive element to the academic pressure. It becomes a month of dedication, determination, and hope, acting as a link between exam anxieties, the preparation process, result announcements, and the joyful start of new academic endeavours.
