Chennai: All government and private high and secondary schools in Chennai district will function as usual on Saturday, December 6, the Chief Educational Officer (CEO) announced today. The decision has been made to compensate for the academic time lost due to three consecutive holidays earlier this week, mandated by heavy rainfall from Cyclone 'Ditwah'.
The cyclone, which formed in the Bay of Bengal near Sri Lanka, first caused severe flooding and significant loss of life in Sri Lanka before tracking along the Tamil Nadu coast. It brought intense rainfall to northern Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, with Chennai, Tiruvallur, Kanchipuram, Chengalpattu, and the Delta districts being particularly affected.
Is school holiday in Chennai tomorrow or not?
In Chennai, the downpour led to substantial waterlogging in multiple areas, disrupting normal life and prompting the declaration of holidays for educational institutions. Schools and colleges in the Chennai district remained closed for three consecutive days: Tuesday, December 2; Wednesday, December 3; and Thursday, December 4.
To make up for the lost instructional day on December 2, the District Chief Education Officer has directed that schools operate on the upcoming Saturday, December 6. The regular weekly Saturday holiday will be foregone for this compensatory session.
The official announcement specifies that all types of high schools and secondary schools across Chennai district will follow their standard weekend schedule tomorrow. Parents, students, and school administrations are advised to note the change and plan accordingly.
