The reopening of schools after the summer holidays has been postponed again in Tamil Nadu.
Classes 6 to 12 will now begin the academic year from June 12. For classes 1 to 5, schools will reopen on June 14 for the 2023-24 academic year, School Education Department officials said on Monday.
Earlier, schools were scheduled to reopen from this week, June 7 onwards. However, over the last few weeks, concerns were being raised about the weather and high temperatures across several parts of the State prompting the School Education Department to postpone the reopening dates.
Initially, the School Education Department had decided to reopen schools for classes VI to XII on June 1 and for classes I to V on June 5.
