Bihar Academic Calendar 2024 Launched: The Education Department of Bihar Government has launched the academic calendar for the year 2024. In this, the complete list of holidays has also been released. This year’s calendar is shocking and contains many major changes. Under this, the holidays of many big festivals like Mahanavami, Rakshabandhan, Shivratri, Janmashtami, Teej, Jiutiya etc. have been cancelled. There will be no holidays on these days in the year 2024. Not only this, schools will not be closed on Gandhi Jayanti and other such occasions, rather many programs will be organised.
Teachers will not get summer vacation
Under another major change made in this calendar, teachers will not get summer holidays. Schools will be closed only for children while teachers will have to come. During this period, parent-teacher meetings and other types of events will continue.
