Telangana teachers seek ways to make up for loss as rains disrupt academic year
The city's educational institutions have suffered as a result of this monsoon's severe rains, which caused roughly 10 unforeseen holidays to occur in the first three months of the academic year. teachers are considering asking for fewer dasara holidays due to the disruption of the usual schedule, which has sparked discussion among institutions and among students equally. teachers are getting more and more worried about how the constant rain may affect the academic calendar as it becomes difficult to maintain regular school operations.
"We understand that the unplanned holidays have disrupted the rhythm of learning," senior teacher Geeta Ravula of a private school remarked. As educators, the education of the pupils is our top responsibility, hence we are considering shortening the dasara holiday to make up for missed time. A few professors claim that the approximately 15-day dasara break might be reduced to 12 days in accordance with the academic schedule. The students who opposed this idea claimed that they "value their holiday breaks."
High school student Meher K. stated, "We understand the necessity to make up on academics, yet we are looking forward to the break. A shorter vacation will be a great letdown, but a few additional or online classes won't be an issue. While some schools withdrew their "second Saturday" holiday to make room for greater courses, the majority of schools are already undertaking damage control measures by operating full days on Saturdays, as opposed to half-day schools.
The decision to eliminate optional holidays like Raksha Bandhan, Varalakshmi Vratam, and others was made at a recent parent-teacher meeting, according to Ravula, who spoke to india Herald. teachers stated that they are eager to reach a compromise that pleases all parties.

Another teacher, Rukmini Rao, emphasised the need for balance, saying, "It is crucial to take into account the well-being of both kids and instructors. To close the gap, we can look into solutions like adding a few extra days to the school year, adding more online programmes, or dropping a challenging unit or idea.
