School Students good news: Dasara holiday may extend till November 1

The Karnataka Government Rural Primary School Teachers’ Association met President Basavaraja Horatti on Sunday and submitted a request to extend the Dasara holiday. On receiving this request, the chairman called the primary and secondary education minister Madhu Bangarappa and told him to extend the leave in the interest of the children.

After talking to the media, Horatti said, “Education system is not right today. School holidays used to be fixed in the past. Schools used to start on the last working day of April and 29th or 30th of May. Dasara holidays used to be from 2nd October to 30th. Then some officials without knowledge have given 4 days leave for Dasara and 4 days for Diwali as they want. This is not a proper system,” he said.

“Earlier, children and teachers get holiday from October 2 to 30 to celebrate Dasara and Diwali. Some officials spoiled this practiceI have written to the government in this regard. Now I will write another letter. He insisted that the government should continue with the system as it was in the past.

The teachers’ association had written a letter to the Chief Minister, Deputy Chief Minister and the Education Minister saying that the Dasara holiday should be extended because the children have gone to the festival.
