Schools in Kerala to remain shut on June 7 for Bakrid, here’s when classes will resume for students

The Kerala government has declared a holiday on June 7 in observance of Bakrid, leading to the closure of all government offices, public sector undertakings, and educational institutions. This decision aims to allow students and employees to partake in the festivities associated with the significant Islamic holiday. The announcement was made after consultations with community leaders to ensure a smooth celebration across the state. In addition to schools, the holiday will affect various sectors, providing a day off for a large portion of the population. This move is expected to ease traffic congestion and enable families to gather without the usual weekday constraints. The government has emphasized the importance of maintaining communal harmony and respecting cultural traditions during this period. Classes for students are scheduled to resume on June 8, ensuring minimal disruption to the academic calendar. School administrations are prepared to adjust their schedules accordingly to make up for the day off. The Education Department has also advised schools to utilize digital platforms to keep students engaged and informed about any changes in their curriculum.
