The Directorate of Education, Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi, has announced a structured academic plan for government schools during the upcoming summer vacation.
As per the official circular, all government schools will observe summer holidays from 11 May 2026 to 30 June 2026.

The initiative is aimed at helping students revise key concepts and prepare better for board-level and critical examinations.

In double-shift schools, classes will be conducted in separate wings to ensure smooth functioning. School heads have been instructed to prepare timetables in advance and submit them to the respective District Deputy Director of Education (DDE).
Students and parents must be informed through all available communication channels.
